The S.O.G Crew visit’s Hope High School in Chicago for a private concert April 15th, the last day of school before the students left for spring break. Motivating the kid’s with a fresh sounding West Coast Hip-Hop; S.O.G had these kids on stage dancing and having a blast! Hope H.S. is statistically known to have one of the highest rates of gang violence and absenteeism in the nation. In one week, 6 students were killed by gang violence. The S.O.G Crew were brought in as intervention to encourage these students to focus on school and get involved in their communities in positive ways. Historically, the only other hip-hop performers that were ever invited to perform and speak at Hope H.S were Erykah–Badu, Common and Kanye West. All the students and staff were personally invited to the “Revolution” hosted by New Life Pilsen and Pastor Robert, for a full-on concert with the S.O.G Crew that same night for their Where Legends are Born CD release Tour. Students from Hope H.S arrived surprised to find out that; “Revolution”, was a Christian youth ministry that had concerts; and that there were other students there rocking out with S.O.G and praising God! Many young people were saved and excited to receive prayer. And they left with a new outlook on life; serving God is fun!
