San Francisco, CA - For the last 50 years of Hip Hop, social commentary and community have served as an integral part of the message and movement, remixing and shifting our pop culture paradigms, making inroads into business, education, and even the environmental movement. In the Bay Area particularly, Hip Hop has always danced between the worlds of entertainment and activism. The home of funk music, the Black Panther Party and hippy counter culture has historically been a hotbed for innovation in both music and social change. And now, Oakland based artist and activist RyanNicole’s latest music video is a small but mighty contribution to this ongoing legacy of Hip Hop activism.
