Hip Hop seems to have reached a place where it has never been before.  Although the millionaire economic status in the younger generation has increased, the pictures that are painted through rap music and videos have given our teen and young adults false information of what success really is.  Record labels invest a lot of money into the stereotypical images of the African American culture that society sees when they look at hip hop and rap videos. African Americans have suffered a lot of turmoil in this country as they have faced racisms, injustices, gang violence, the crack epidemic, and poverty, just to name a few. With the African American culture being years behind the overall American culture, it is very hard to stress to the black community how important it is to know and understand history. Through history individuals are able to identify with themselves as well as others.  Hip Hop is a versatile genre now, and when people tend to ignore the history of the Hip Hop Culture, they become ignorant to the African American culture overall. Russell Simmons said, “Hip Hop is a voice for voiceless poor people.”  Somewhere in between all the hype, that voice has been lost.    Word Life Production is committed to providing independent artist with the resources they will need in order to produce their own album.  Mostly all artist resources are essentially important when producing a musical composition.  Artist need to know which direction to go.
