Another organization that has been created to showcase the positive side of Hip Hop is www.hiphopgivesback.org.
Created by Mike D and Konata J, HipHopGivesBack.org has set itself as
the premiere catalyst committed to cultivating the awareness of the
positive efforts, endeavors,and accomplishments of Hip Hop Culture and
its communities. Through its website it hopes to remove negative
reinforcements that have been placed upon Hip Hop Culture and its
communities by bringing you stories of programs, events and priceless
moments that are the result of positivity within. It is now supporting
The Write Stuff Reality Show and the artists that are a part of it. "The
world is not going to fix itself," says Mike D. "I think it is
necessary for those of us who have been blessed in certain positions,
to get the ball rolling. This collaboration is the start of a movement
that will assist the future(children) in forming the future." Konata J
adds this: "The collaboration between www.HipHopgivesBack.org & The
Write Stuff is an example of the forward thinking that will bring about
progress and change in essential areas, including literacy with urban
youth and the promotion of programs. This will contribute to the
overall improvement of literacy excellence in our communities." Hip Hop
Gives Back will be cross-promoting the artists from The Write Stuff
through its site as well. Dj Down South, a recording artist
from Mississippi is also pleased to see the marriage of music and
reading. "I'm glad to be a part of projects that can show more than one
side of the music that Hip hop produces. The Write Stuff is going to
break alot of records, and I think that will include those that have to
do with Hip Hop as well." Other organizations that have
partnered with Shadow Play Entertainment and The Write Stuff in their
effort to show the positive side of music include For The People
Productions, Crunk Magazine, Hype Magazine, Industry Standard Magazine,
The Common Ground Foundation and The Hip Hop Chronicle. To
