The Hip Hop Project

Friday, May 11, 2007

Once a homeless teenager in Brooklyn, Chris "Kazi" Rolle was determined to help other kids avoid the pitfalls of street life. He founded an after-school program called The Hip Hop Project that works with young people aspiring to be rappers. We talk with Rolle and Matt Ruskin, director of a new documentary about the program.
