Hasan Salaam - .1911

The concept behind Hasan Salaam's EP "Music Is My Weapon" is the belief that music can be used as a powerful tool in the pursuit of freedom, justice, and equality. With the release of the project, Hasan is aiming to prove that music can change people's lives, literally. All profits from the sale of the EP will be used to fund a school, clean water well, and medical clinic in Guinea-Bissau, West Africa. In November 2010, Hasan became the first U.S hip hop artist to ever perform in Bissau. On the same trip he worked with the young artists, taught creative writing to the youth, and headlined a concert to promote freedom of speech. The "Music Is My Weapon" project is the next step, in an effort to provide change to a country that remains one of the poorest and least politically stable in the world.

I hate how V-Nasty claims to be real because she grew up in the "hood". Meanwhile my man Hasan is sending his money off of this album to help a village in Africa. That's as real as it gets.

Love this. Massively underrated

pause at 0:00 wait for whole video to load and then press the right button.

Certified ill.

Proceeds to help those in need ?? Yup, that's the realness.

 Keep at it Hasan, One Love.

I actually beg to differ, I do see Hasan just as Lyrical as IT if not more, listening to Children of God & Paradise Lost, he is like Nas mixed with Mos Def with an ill 2pac/Rakim like flow...

Dude is dope. I don't feel like he has the lyrical ability of Immortal Technique, but he's got the same mentality and I respect that.

[stokelycalm]

im one of hasan's biggest fans..but this track kinda deviates from the music he's been making ..like "tales of lost tribe" and "prayer of a sinner", two classics! i guess this track meant to be more of a banger/catchy track with provocative lyrics, focusing in a cliche manner about the commercialism of mainstream hip-hop. but anyway still love any new music I get to hear from hasan..album sounding dope!

[crazyalcayne]

Tight!!

[Voiceoftheshadows1]

Salute Hasan Salaam. For real hip hop get his albums. Peace

[TrixR4Kids911]
