We have now served over 1500 youth teens and adults who love the positive and educational values of  Hip Hop and it's 4 core elements. We have faced many obstacles but have persevered with "thumbs up". from many community advocates such as  Young Artist Music 'Academy Walmart, Sycuan Casino, La Mesa Spring Valley School District, San Diego A-list, Yelp, The Better Business Bureau and a host of other community friends."
