I have been teaching weekly after-school classes at Rachel B. Noel in the Montbello neighborhood and Lake Junior High on the Northside. January through May, we talked about the history of Hip-Hop, wrote poetry, discussed popular music and community responsibility, made beats, and wrote raps.
This week, Youth On Record joined me in both classrooms to record the songs we have been working on the past few weeks. Both student groups, Montbello and Lake respectively, wrote to the same Hip-Hop/Dub-Step beat, produced by Red-5 (2 different takes on the same beat).
Below are several pics from the recording session at Lake.
Mp3s of the tracks will be posted later this month.
