Shades of Me

Shades of Me

I love my Organization Rhythm & Reason. I’ve come to learn that their really isn’t another organization that is quite like mine on any college campus. Im slowly learning how to be a leader, and one of the things I am going to work more on is implementing my vision and really puting my stamp on this organization. I garnered a lot of respect for the things I’ve been able to do thus far and I know that we are ready to take that next step. I want Rhythm & Reason to represent the underground artists and the current movement of independency in all art. This will be in conjuction with our community service initiative. I want to eventually group mentor kids and at risk youth in every comunity that we reside in. I feel like The art today doesn’t get the support it should get because of the overall disconnect that most artists (visual, vocal, musical, etc) lack a true presence in the community. Rappers call it “street cred” but that refers to gangsterism which is ingnorant to me. But the premise of “street cred” which is the support of ones community is still very important. I feel that people would be more loyal to artist that care about the communities they come from. I wouldn’t bootleg an album from an artist who came down to my recreation center and talked to us. I would pay the extra money to see a show from an Artist who was giving his time to a cause of some sort. I want Rhythm & Reason to bring artists back to the community and help them establish a fan base through more than just Art.
