#HHArchives

This beats were passed on to us from Nick Deals in 2009 for the development of Hip Hop Alumni's online web presence.  At the time we wanted to feature background music on the homepage and decided on the ninth track which you could hear at the Soundcloud link below.  At the time the tracks were untitled.  We've added the CD to our #HHArchives with titles by #Lee.  The link above will provide ((listen)) to ((Gymkata)) and the Soundcloud link below is for the ((Shaolinen)) instrumental.

Introducing the #HHArchives

We're all libraries of information and experiences. A lot of stories. It's difficult to document these things in a way that matters, in a way that is accessible, and in a way that will last.  Over the past twenty years using the internet, it seems to me Google will be the only place online that won't break links.  #HHArchives is an attempt to share pieces of information we've saved over the years that hold meaning to what we've done, what's inspired the things we do today, and what reminds us of what we hope to accomplish tomorrow.

Below are clippings from a Time Chronicle article that I saved of Justin De Senso's Penn State University Abington poetry slam in 2002. 

"It's about learning about yourself and learning about language. To express oneself truly is one of the meanings of life for me." - Justin De Senso
