I know some of our kids have some skills in this area, pass this on.

Presenting the 2008 Hip-hop song writing contest

THINK YOU’VE GOT SKILLS?
The ESSENCE Take Back the Music campaign and the Berklee College of Music are back again with our annual search for hip-hop’s next great voice. Lyricists and songwriters, ages 15 to 19, will compete to win tuition-free summer classes at Berklee’s Boston campus, where students learn fundamentals of performance, composition, production and the music business. Additionally, the top scholarship recipients will perform their winning songs at the 2008 Peace Hip-Hop Festival at Boston’s City Hall Plaza. Songs will be judged on clever, conscious, thought-provoking lyrics, composition and performance—so show us what you’ve got!
