Kids and drugs equal trouble, and it’s tough to turn that trouble into something positive. Treatment Centers apply 12-step recovery principles and demand kids become responsible for better choices. And now some kids are getting schooled in hip-hop principles to add to their recovery mix.
Join Dan and Noelle as they travel to Synergy Studio and spend time with Dee Jay Doc Harrill—hip hop producer, turntablist and concerned social innovator (http://deejaydoc.com/). They get an earful about his work with troubled youth, quest for neighborhood unity and belief in the power of scratching records as a tool for saving lives.

I really love this piece. The music and the interviews are so amazing. These kids are so strong and talented. This whole movement is beautiful. Teaching kids how to make real music with out the bad contents that are on most hip-hop music is really powerful to me. This piece itself is strong, I like the fact that instead of making the usual hip-hop surround around drugs; they changed it and made it more about "what will you be in life?" and etc.
