About Reid’s Positive Hip Hop Program            

+ In May of 2008, I created this program to reach kids at the grade school level (k-12) when character building and Positive Role Models are so important!  And reach them in a way that is fun and also educational. This program also demonstrates how the genre of Hip Hop can be used to motivate and inspire it's listeners contrary to today's current Hip hop direction.

+ Through Music we can connect and engage with our children like no other medium can! So my goal is to use my musical talents & abilities to educate, inspire and set a positive example for our youth!

+ Motivational speeches combined with the excitement and energy of Hip Hop Music & Dance creates a powerful and unique educational Program! 

+ Music and the Performing Arts have tremendous influence on our children. For most teens, music is their world, it defines their culture and portrays lifestyles and ideals of how the world is...Is today’s Hip Hop / Rap culture portraying lifestyles that are positive + or negative - ? -Reid
