Hassahn Phenomenon

We dream of a different Chicago with the P.A.R.T.N.E.R.S.H.I.P. O.F. P.E.A.C.E. 

Establish collaboration among community, government, & educational institutions 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Prepare children at all grade levels for the social aspects of life by incorporating classes about: The Value & Significance of Life, Conflict Resolution, Consequences & Repercussions, and others into the educational curriculum 

Allow those in our community with stories of trial, triumph, and tragedy to share with students in targeted schools on a monthly basis 

Require community and faith-based organizations to serve neighbors and/or provide mentoring, tutoring, stipends, donations, or scholarships to students to maintain 501c3 status 

Train students in governmental process by requiring candidates to include students in their campaign 

Nominate, celebrate, and compensate communities that serve as an extraordinary example in the city 

Expand staff and resources for after school, special education, and mental health programs 

Reward teachers with increased salaries and free tuition for their children at state schools 

Engage companies to come alongside and improve the condition of communities 

Service abandoned buildings to be used for round-the-clock usage as Chicago Solution centers and shelters. 

Hire minority contractors to rehab these buildings who are required to teach the trade to community youth looking to learn the trade, giving them on the job training. 
Install Internet Sites for each Chicago community to serve as the source of communication for all community happenings and provide opportunity for residents to sign-up for initiatives 

Persuade businesses and residents to invest in the betterment of their community by financing these Chicago Solution centers, shelters, training, and jobs with refunds & recognition 

Encourage companies committed to community with incentives and opportunities 

Offer tax breaks and incentives to companies that recruit, hire, and reside in urban communities 

Financially reward companies that train and hire reformed felons with governmental stipends 

Ensure the safety and security of our communities 

Provide surveillance and satellite technology to capture major outdoor criminal activity. We use it for traffic already, why not to find criminals. 

Enlarge police and volunteer presence in high crime communities in the evening 

Align police officers and community residents by requiring all police trainees to attend community meetings and walk the blocks to get to know residents in these communities prior to being sworn in. 

Compensate police officers in “good standings” serving in high crime communities with increased pay and free tuition for their students. 

Encourage community residents to do community service with tax breaks and incentives 

! Accountability across the board.  Mandatory family counseling for parents/guardians of juvenile offenders of serious crimes as part of sentencing. Mandatory mental health counseling for officers due to the stress of the job.  Mandatory mental health counseling for any serious criminal offenders in prison and beyond.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Rasheeda of Intellectual Chocolate.  We talked empowering the Black Community, the power of the pen, and of course we talked about Soles For Sale.  Check out the full interview below.

 

I teamed up with my long time friend and frat brother, Duane Porter to come up with some possible solutions to aid in stopping the violence in Chicago. Our proposed solution for dealing with some of the ills that plague our Chicago communities is the creation of a "Partnership of Peace" with our community and faith based organizations, educational institutions, governmental agencies, and businesses. This plan is far more extensive than what is presented here but this is just the premise of what we think may work.  By building the community, we also build hope, self-love, and opportunity in the form of jobs and resources. 

If you don't know now you know that producer Emilio Bucks and myself have formed an alliance in the form of Senior Class. We just want to bring some grown folks hip hop music to the game and we were fortunate enough to have a meeting with WGCI Music Director, Al B. Sylk.  We played him our joint "Finding You" feat. Russoul (Another Chitown Artist), and he apparently liked it. 

We were fortunate enough to have the song played on 107.5 WGCI and we received a good response. We just want to give a sincere thank you for the opportunity. If you want the song to continue to play on WGCI, free free to hit em' up at albsylk@wgci.com and tell him to play that Senior Class, "Finding You" 

As any musician will tell  you, we always want the opportunity to express our talents and be paid for them at the same time. I'm happy to report that 2014 has started out on the right foot of even the left foot if you prefer that one. P5Audio, a fantastic artist by the name of Djoir Jordan, and myself were blessed enough to have a song we wrote called, "Party Rockin'" placed in the trailer for the "Best Night Ever." It's a good start. Let's Get It Let's Go!

I had the opportunity to talk to two dope gentlemen that understand the gift of being swift with a pen. They were gracious enough to want to inteview me about all my adventures in Holllywood and how my pen game has lead me to write songs, a book, and now a documentary film.  Check out my interview on The Next Episode with Harlem and Fave.
