Self and DJ Rated R on set for the video shoot of S.W.A.G. and Travis McCoy from Gym Class Heroes

Hello all,
Well Self and DJ Rated R team up with the Non-Prophet organization called S.W.A.G. (Students with Aspiring Gifts) to help out with a video shoot they are submitting to the Pepsi Smash contest.

Here is a little bit of background on S.W.A.G.
Mission Statement: Student’s With Aspiring Gifts’ mission is to use hip-hop culture as a tool to meet the needs of students academically, creatively, and artistically. SWAG fosters a learning and academic environment that inspires students to delve in the knowledge of hip-hop culture while fulfilling their goals and aspirations in a profession that relates to the five elements of hip-hop.
Our Aim: Students With Aspiring Gift seeks to implement programs geared toward influencing the Hip-Hop generation. SWAG will influence the Hip-Hop generation through classes we offer that promote the five elements of hip-hop culture (i.e. deejaying, grafatti, mcing, b-boy/girl, knowledge and culture). SWAG is the bridge to engaging the underrepresented about hip-hop culture and providing resources to them that are difficult to obtain. Our aim is to showcase students’ talents and engage them in cultural arts events that exemplify their true talents. In order for us to sustain the longevity of SWAG we believe the community’s support will be the key factor in making our students goals and aspirations a reality. 

The video shoot went nice. Havoc Boutique brought out a lot of there family to help shoot the message. Chad behind the camera lens and the idea came to light. In the middle of taping we noticed someone cruising around on there segway. None other than Travis McCoy from Gym Class Heroes. He came by and supported what we were doing by being in attendance. DJ Rated R and Luke ScratchRocker gave him some tips on the art of the DJ, battle DJ that is.

Beautiful day for being productive and having a vision. Stayed tuned to when the video will be uploaded so you guys can vote. A vision for the youth.

Peace and blessings
