I recently received this message regarding H4’s Mend The Home: Hip Hop Helps Heal Domestic Violence event…

“I remember randomly searching “abuse” on twitter and the benefit popped up and your twitter name. I just came out of an abusive relationship. I was glad that someone was holding a benefit to raise money for the Genesis Women’s Shelter. It inspired me in so many ways to get through it. Thanks. That was my first step to healing, knowing that I could give back to women in my situation just by attending the event.” -SB

I received an email recently that made my day. It read…

“I am just sitting here doing some work and getting some GOAT action (sounds a bit dirty)…as I am listening, I am thinking about how much I admire you. So many people have musical talent, but it takes more than that to touch lives. You have something special. It’s not just about music, it is about life with you…your heart is so big and you want to make a difference. That is so rare. You have made an impact on my life. I believe in not only your music, but in you. I just thought I would share that. Hope you have a great rest of the day!” -BC

Clear The Air: Hip Hop Helps Heal Lung Cancer

ArtLoveMagic is once again partnering with H4 - a local collective of hip hop musicians who donate their time and energies to put on shows that raise money for local charities. In the past H4 and ArtLoveMagic have partnered on shows to help those dealing with breast cancer and domestic violence issues. Now we are tackling Lung Cancer.

Justin Griffith (known on stage as G.O.A.T.) is the founder of Hip Hop Helps Heal. In only the last few weeks, his grandfather passed from Lung Cancer related issues. This show is being thrown in his memory.

H4 will supply the rappers and the DJs. ArtLoveMagic will supply the live artists and the spoken word poets. The show will be Saturday Night August 28th at a rrrreally cool new club in Deep Ellum called ARNETIC (Elm & Malcom X). Today was just the first meeting of the production crew and already the lineup has some of the best street artists and hip hop acts in town involved. A full list will be announced soon. We’re going to move fast on this one and put together an incredible show in just under a month.

Mark your calendar for the 28th.
Live art, hip hop, a worthy cause.
Breathe Deep.
The air will be fresh.
