Current Project
Alphabet Rockers Got Your BackLogline
Grammy-nominated Alphabet Rockers is an unlikely phenomenon of the children's music world: a group of kids using hip hop to effect social change. With songs like “Black Gxrl Magic” and “Until You’re Free” - about migrant children being held in U.S. detention centers - and songs that speak out about racism and smashing the gender binary, they are activists first and artists second. As adults and children alike grapple with these questions, society needs their voices more than ever.
