The DJ Project
 
Underground Soul is the 16th DJ Project CD release since the program was founded in late 2000.

All of these students came off the streets and entered our studio with no prior musical experience.

Six months later, Fredo and Francoise are working as interns with The DJ Project street team, and Damian is attending college.

Engineered and Recorded at The DJ Project Studio

City Livin' 2005

Melly-Mell, P-Nut, Foolish, J.Nov, D.Child, Sage Infamous

The City Livin' crew included youth and young adults from San Francisco, Hercules, Tracy and Santa Cruz who all came together through their love of hip-hop music. We even had youth that live on the same block yet had never spoken meet in our studio and collaborate on tracks.

City Livin' participants had the opportunity to learn about music video making as they roamed the streets of Frisco looking for images that suited their lyrical content.

The DJ Project
Musiqfied 2003
 
Eager to see more female representation in hip-hop, The DJ Project collaborated with the Young Women Arise Program to give a small group of young women the opportunity to tell their own stories, explore their identities and set it to a hip-hop soundtrack.

Led by artists Kali B (Kayatrip!) and Miss Leema (Kayatrip!), six young women ages 14-18 met for 16 weeks to write poetry, make beats, shoot a music video and discuss what it means to be a woman in hip-hop. The result is Musiqfied.

The DJ Project is an arts entrepreneurship, prevention, and employment program built on a hip-hop foundation. It uses music to engage young adults, giving them opportunities to develop in a context familiar to them. Through applied entrepreneurship, audio production, DJing, Media Messaging, job readiness training and community service, The DJ Project model is a creative learning experience for the hip-hop generation.

But The DJ Project is more than just your typical after school Hip Hop or prevention program. It's a way of life. Youth who participate in The DJ Project build a sense of their own identity through music and engagement with their peers, and grow not only as artists and business moguls, but as leaders in the community. Through an artful mix of off the chart turntablism, mad vocals, and razor sharp business acumen, The DJ Project youth are launching themselves into the tech savvy 21st Century lifestyle. We are proud of what our youth are accomplishing, and eager to support what they will become. The DJ Project - a new way of life.
