As of this writing, the Y.N. Rich Kids band camp has created a viral video that has 1,293,641 hits in two weeks. It's called Hot Cheetos and Takis. It was featured on NPR this morning and I was blown away at the talent of these inner city kids. The song is about snacks. That's it. Nothing more. And it sounds pretty powerful. No ho's, guns or any sort of violence. Just kids wanting their snacks. With all the production qualities of Lupe Fiasco, Immortal Technique or Snoop Dogg.
It's the 8th digital CD that the North Community Beats and Rhymes Program has put out. The kids come and go but the program keeps putting out good fun music. And the kids get to discover what it is to work together as a team, to write, memorize their lines, dance and get a little camera time which takes a certain amount of patience to do it until you get it right.
Rock on, North Community Beats and Rhymes Program. Here's the lyrics to Hot Cheetos and Takis. Read as you watch their music video.
