A video made by three girls from Baltimore goes viral.
“In a little over three weeks after its release, the “Letter to Lil Wayne” video had been viewed over one million times throughout the Internet, with over 850,000 views coming from You Tube alone. The controversial music video was also featured on Yahoo’s online music blog, NewsOne, AOL’s Black Voices website, CNN, the Tom Joyner Morning Show, the Detroit Native Sun, Worldstarhiphop.com and a host of other online forums, magazines, and blogs.” Read the full story.
“Three sisters stemming from their home town of Harriet Tubman City (Baltimore, Maryland) have come to silence all notions of the youth being lost and uncontrollable. Still in elementary school, Nia, Nya and Kamaria, known as Watoto From the Nile, are a young African-centered, thought provoking, socially and culturally conscious music group. They are a testament to the fact that music can be used for much more than to propagandize messages of death and destruction. The “money, cash, hoes” days are very much coming to a close and these young divas are leading the way for change.”
