CD Release Party: Friday, June 27th: 5:30pm to 7pm
Come out and support Greater Fulton youth as they speak into the mic on their first homespun CD produced in the Neighborhood Resource Center's own recording studio. With grants from the Memorial Foundation for Children and the Richmond Police Department, the NRC transformed a locker room into a recording studio, which is capturing the visions and rhymes of inner city youth on Wednesdays after school. The kids' songs cover a range of human experience from fantasy to tragic reality. Jamilla writes about someone she knows who was shot in the head; Kenya writes about the joy of eating the perfect burger; Zakiya pronounces her dream of going to college, not being on the streets. Copies of the Young Writers spoken word sampler will be on sale for $10.00. The first 100 purchasers will also receive a free copy of Style Weekly's "Sounds of Richmond" featuring 14 local artists. Light refreshments will be provided by Ellwood Thompson's Local Market. For more information, call 864-5797.
