The DJ Project is utilizing the power of urban youth culture to affect
positive change among local at-risk teens. By nurturing these young
people's passion for music, they're making it a little easier for
these aspiring young MC's, DJ's and producers to safely navigate the
often choppy waters of inner-city life - helping to build their character
and instilling in them a sense of pride.
This year's graduates present this collection (The DJ Project's second
release) of 17 original, mostly hip-hop tunes (there is one house
track) recorded at the organization's headquarters in the Mission.
These talented kids' tight flows and wicked beats demonstrate their
proficiency in the studio and fluency with both mic and turntable,
putting a lot of today's big-label offerings to shame.
Features various contributions by DJ Quest (Space Travelers), DJ Zeph,
Azeem, David Byce (Broun Fellinis) and Leon Mobley (Ben Harper and
the Innocent Criminals). To purchase a copy of this CD or for more
