PROJECTS
Hip-Hop Against Gun & Gang Violence/ 105 Days of Summer/ Power 105.1 website!
The Hip-Hop Against Gun & Gang Violence project created in 2011, is an innovative multi-faceted approach that educates and trains students and young adults on how to be proactive to end gun and gang violence in their school and community. 88 citizens die daily in the U.S. from firearms (8 are children and teens under 20). The project believes the key to reducing gun and gang violence is earning the trust and respect of those most responsible and smart community policing. There are 33,000 gangs nationwide representing 1.4 million members who commit 48% of the country’s most violent crimes. Our innovative “Public Health Approach” uses a host of initiatives which include Community Ambassadors for Peace (CAP); Rap 2 Bridge the Gap; Time 2 Shine; Solution Summits; 7 E’s 4 Power, and 105 Days of Summer. Additional activities include: films; trips; Celebrity PSAs; prize give-a-ways; tickets to sports and entertainment events; Petition Drives; and an Essay Contest.
The annual Hip-Hop Against Gun & Gang Violence Week campaign kicks off 105 events over 105-days with Power 105.1 Radio through the 105 Days of Summer initiative. Activities start a week prior to Memorial Day Weekend and end Labor Day Weekend. The holidays represent the unofficial start and end of summer, a period when gun violence spikes and citizens are in fear for their lives. In addition, the campaign is supported by Power 105.1,“The People’s Shark” Daymond John, NYPD, RCA Records, NYCHA, C-COP and a host of other partners. The project works with celebrities, students, community and business leaders, clergy, gang leaders, seniors and formerly incarcerated citizens to end the violence.
HATE THE WEIGHT
The Hip-Hop 4 Better Health Program is proud to announce the launch of E.D.S. (Exercise Diet & Spirituality). This new groundbreaking Holistic Health initiative was created by The “Fitness Sheriff” to help young citizens better understand how to use Exercise, Diet and Spirituality to Lose Weight and Stay in Shape, Connect to a Higher Power, Avoid Mental Illness, Prevent Sickness & Diseases, Reduce Healthcare Cost and Live a Positive Drug Free Lifestyle. Through workshops, seminars, conferences, online activities, social media, videos, reports, legislative policies and consultation we will show you why “Your Wealth is Your Health” and the steps you can take to live a Healthy, Stress-Free, Productive Life.
To accomplish this monumental task we must envision our “Health Journey” as a marathon and not a sprint. The focus must be on: Eating the Right Foods, a Balanced Diet, and researching what you put in your body; The Benefits of Vitamins, Minerals & Nutrients; Fasting & Cleansing; Herbs, Teas & Spices; Sleep; Water Power; Friendships & Associations; Lifestyle Choices; Spiritual Enlightenment; and Substance Abuse Prevention. Each is key to achieve good health because through “Preventive Healthcare” we can help participants live a long, strong and productive life. We have also launched the “Hate The Weight” campaign is schools nationwide.

Time 2 Shine
Young citizens today have talent but don’t have the contacts or resources to showcase their skills to the “Movers & Shakers” in the industry. They need help to market their talent and build their business. This initiative prepares participants for the challenges they will encounter by building confidence, augmenting skills and engaging in a hands-on approach that will help open doors for those who normally would not have a chance in a very competitive industry. Individuals will receive valuable training through talent showcases, rehearsals, and workshops conducted by professionals who offer a host of services to help participants with their growth and development.
Participants will learn about marketing, social media, touring, merchandising, endorsements, accounting, legal, production, management, security, internships, career opportunities, demo & recording contracts, and how to start their own company. In addition, our 50 Lit Hip-Hop Books will be used to promote the importance of reading, while also providing the “Secrets of Success” to our participants from some of the top artists in the world, including Jay Z, Beyoncé, Chis Brown, Nas, Alicia Keys, 50 Cent, Kanye West and many more.
