These girls are a big part of the reason I wrote #ChaseTheCrown Forgive me as I sit in my 90s Diddy pose but when I brought the opportunity to express themselves thru hip hop these girls chose to speak on #Racism #PoliceBrutality #Equality #Friends #Family #Fears & #Joys with real bars. So much so even #RocNation and #News12bronx was taken back by what they had to say. So how else could I write an EP that didn't respect who they were as young women of color in America? My students made me who I am and I'm proud to say that. I came to mentor them but they instead mentored me! #musicteacher #producer #songwriter #womensrights #sexualabuse #domesticviolence #music #bronx #TheAmbition1706 #nikoREIGN #facts #eachoneteachone #fbf #scholars #students #artists #engineer (at Kingsbridge, Bronx)

Thank you to my brothers @spudbrooklyn & @lyrivelli for coming to my classroom today to help give my students the gift of song and media exposure to drive their art forward. Also much thanks to @channel_12_news and @theforeverheather for taking out the time to see our students breaking the stereotypes of hip hop by showcasing them learning about copyrights, intellectual property, music engineering, songwriting and digital composition in a 21st century marketplace. #music #hiphop #musicteacher #theambition1706 #ChaseTheCrown #news12bronx #bronx #charterschool #eachoneteachone #news #media #NYC #latin #black #producer #RocNation #tbt #themovement
