(The Underground Railroad Neighborhood Project)

Is a group of mentors/ students founded in 2004 as a response to the immediate need for marginalized communities to find an outlet.

Hi Hop After School 2007

The Hip Hop After School program was a gamechanger for me. I was bored a lot, getting in trouble. I started meeting after school with them and was able to do something fun and it kept my attention. We was going to studios and learning how to promote and use our skills. I thank ya'll for everything yall done for me."

::Hip Hop Revolution::

Coffy's third Poetry CD titled "Hip Hop Revolution" is a war of words. In the spirit of the hip-hop generation, it is a brutal and honest look at the unrest that lies in the heart of Urban America. As always, it is told from a female perspective.

There is a war inside all of us

There is a war inside all of us

Civil Right's is not a dream that lived and died with martin. It is a revolution of though that lives in the minds of our great leaders.
