Abundance all around me.
Magic all inside of me.

A feeling. From the beat of the drum to the jagged edge of its lyrics. Hip-Hop is  more than a dance or a wave. It serves as a direct result from a way of life. Being created from the flames of despair and dreams that have been deferred. Hip-Hop is an undeniable force that has pushed greatness out of the dungeons that were constructed to ban light of any sorts. The light in any dark place that each of us could ever experience. Giving the weak, strength, and food to the hungry souls that lie at the feet of desperation.
