 What A  Memorable Night!  Our 10-year BEAT Birthday Bash this past Tuesday was epic! Together, we demonstrated the unparalleled generosity of the Hip-Hop community, the education community and the culture of giving that continues to flourish within. Thanks to your support, we all pooled our resources and energy together and with Arc Tank 3.0 funding we raised nearly $100K!  We are truly inspired by your benevolence and generosity. We want to thank everyone that attended, our honorees (Congressman Charles Rangel, Principal of The Lavelle School for the Blind Diane Tucker, and legendary photographer and community hero Joe Conzo), our presenters, our amazing host Chesney Snow, all of the guests, all of our online supporters, and all of the staff that helped curate such an amazing birthday experience for us at Mission Nightclub!

There was a time when I was continuously in financial strain and dragging everyone I loved down with me real fast. Although I was bringing in consistent income with my weekly DJ gig I had to freelance on top of that. Side jobs I took on ran the range of graphic designing event flyers, websites, building mobile apps, recording vocals, producing soundtracks, and djing for other artist performances. I was barely earning $100 for each project but spread much too thin to focus adequately on any one thing. Sometimes at the end of the month I would be busking - singing my own music on the subway - risking arrest all because I had too little money. In hindsight I see that I was wasting energy on menial jobs when I could have been focusing on my business.  One evening my partner of 2 years just got back from traveling through Asia as a teacher and asked me if I wanted to come meet her mom and her mom’s famous, financially successful brother for dinner at their favorite chinese resta...

You have the skills. You have the talent. So why is your greatness not being noticed by the entire world? Over the past ten years have you constantly been in over your head doing several odd jobs and working on people's projects that now you have no time to support your own well being, live your purpose, grow your income, have a family? If you already have gotten a bit defensive from what you read thus far. My advice is don't read any further until you put yourself in a better mood. This might sting a little. . .  "If you're doing something the same way you have been doing it for ten years, the chances are you are doing it wrong. -Charles Kettering My bet is that you don't want to admit to yourself that you might be doing something " wrong ."

 WHAT IS HIP HOP YOGA  ?    If you're like UNDAKOVA, you may have witnessed first hand the social and cultural toll the extremes of global-capitalism and the “American Dream” have taken on communities, particularly urban black families. Part of the inspiration of our work as Hip Hop Yogis is calling a hault to the madness of overconsumption, alienation and lack. While in his youth UNDAKOVA saw his teenage posse poised to rise to fame as the next “it” boys, for over a decade the artist went ghost as he indulged in self-realization work, eventually, emerging as a pioneering leader of the fusion of Hip Hop and Yoga with his now partner, Or Nah. Influenced personally by Vipassana meditation, the Bagua map of Daoist cosmology and Zen Baoding balls, today a major part of the UNDAKOVA Hip Hop yoga mission and his service as an artist involves “remedying a world in which many have lost touch with their true nature and ability to practice self-aut...
