Hasan Salaam – .1911 (Video)

Hasan Salaam is a dope artist as we have already showcased here on this site but more than that he is touching lives by engaging with youth in impoverished areas of the world.  The proceeds of his forthcoming project, Music Is My Weapon will go to set up schools and develop clean water in Guinea-Bissau.   I am going to cop it for sure.

On an artistic note, this is a very entertaining video that I am sure you will enjoy.  If you want to make an early donation towards the initiative you can visit http://www.indiegogo.com/ittakesavillage.

Music still has power!

Single You Out: Hasan Salaam – 1911

I am pretty sure I own all of Hasan Salaam’s discography.  I have been following his career for a while now and he remains an artist who not only is lyrically gifted but can also convey meaning and power in his rhymes.  His new album, Music Is My Weapon, is slated to drop on 12/06/2011.  All the proceeds from this album’s sales will be donated to the It Takes A Village Foundation.  You can’t get anymore high-minded than that.  Props!
