Long time no speak…we at HIP HOP SAVES LIVES are working on a lot of new projects and we have BIG plans for the new yr!!!!

Starting with our campaign ‘A SONG A DAY TO END EXTREME POVERTY’ We will be releasing a song a day mon-fri for the year. All songs will be based on good news stories from around the world. Why? Firstly because good news stories don’t enough press. Secondly to inject inspiration into your life on the daily!

We also have an event on JAN 12th in remembrance of the Haitian quake that happened a year ago to that date. Featuring OKAI w/brown rice family Yes its already been a year but I’m sure its seems like 10 to the people in Haiti.
Lets stand for eradicating extreme poverty. Lets give more than ever this year and bless our lives and well as the receivers!

Anandi will be working with HHSL in website support and also writing our monthly newsletter and who knows what else this lil genius has up her sleeve! We are so excited to have her amazing support and efforts!!

Ana just got news that her work visa has been approved through HHSL’S. She is officially working with us and will be heading our video and editing dept!

Look out for our long awaited show REBEL MUSIC finally debuting this year!

A lot going on folks so stay tuned!
