00:00Music is a huge part of what we do here.
00:04It doesn't matter what color you are,
00:08no one can deny a nice beat.
00:15Cheers.
00:17Cheers.
00:22We came to talk to Kendrick and his friends
00:24and find out how his music is making them rethink gang life.
00:27It brings a whole other side of the world to Compton,
00:30to this backyard right here and say,
00:32okay, these are actually people.
00:35Rap is dead in the traditional way.
00:38The young kids, they're just not drawn from what Shea used to be drawn from.
00:42A lot of kids here, they're making Brazilian music that's escaping Brazil.
00:45What's your opinion on people saying that this music promotes violence?
00:49They don't know what we go through until they experience it.
00:52You're singing, passing joy to a lot of people,
00:55and from there, a shot there.
00:57So if you rapping about going to get a gun,
00:59these kids don't want to go get a gun.
01:05You got a studio in here?
01:11Yeah, you know, we got the homegrown studios right behind that door.
01:15You know, is there a different path for people who are coming from the streets
01:18and rapping and storytelling
01:19and people who are producing and making beats like you are?
01:22Can't be lazy,
01:24because there's somebody out there that want it just as bad as you do.
01:29We're the ones living this life that everybody wants to rap about.
01:33This is what we see. This is what we feel.
01:35This is how we interpret it.
01:38The independents are competing with the majors.
01:40It's like a whoop.
01:43It's a little bit deeper than just the music.
01:45It's cats out here really trying to spark the idea of positivity in the community.
01:50It needs a person!
