HHCF Street Games Vol. 1 Mixtape Drops on HALLOWEEN!!

Alright so, HHCF is about to announce all the artists, producers and tracklist for our upcoming mixtape Street Games Vol. 1. This thing is a very original and hard hitting piece of work. I expect it to drop on Halloween. There were a lot of submissions for this. It got hard really to narrow everything down. We are STILL cutting songs from the mixtape because so much dope Hip-Hop came in it was har...d to figure out who should be on and who should not. Many were not cut because of wackness, but maybe they talked about weed or cursed too much. Sometimes, it was a lack of production quality (not skill). Some people who were slated for Vol. 1 originally, will be featured on Vol. 2 which will drop in May. I will notify those people myself to let them know. The only thing I'm sure of, is that this will be one of the most banging, lyrical, fun, honest and inspirational mixtapes to drop in recent years. I wanna shout out DJ Rob Flow, Ronnie Lee Music, Sunspot Jonz, Zumbi, Rakaa Iriscience, Kalhi, Tajai, A Plus, Asheru, Quadir Lateef and others for their support in making this happen. More soon.....t-shirt info coming....

The shirt is a tribute to the old school Ice T shirt from the Original Gangster album. If you had one of these way back, you were one of the realest. Now we're giving you the ability to roll with the realest...The HHCF.

Rappers Mac Mall, Big Rich, DLabrie and entrepreneur Pablo Fuentes will speak about the importance of good living, the value of sacrifice and making positive life goals.

“I’m always grateful for the time these artists and businessmen give to our students." said HHCF Founder Adisa Banjoko. It’s an honor to have these guys in the building and share their wisdom. By fusing chess, art and life planning we have been able to inspire a lot of at-risk teens. Additionally, we are motivating educators to think out of the box on how to reach and teach young people of diverse backgrounds. Everybody is pretty excited.”

Pablo Fuentes is a Chilean-American businessman and CEO and Founder of www.proven.com a site that connects businesses and prospective employees. Mr. Fuentes recently spoke in Washington D.C. at the White House on the importance of mentoring youth and helping develop their formal education and character.

Mac Mall is a Bay Area Rap legend from Vallejo, California whose early work helped define the the regions sound and lyrical content. Rap icon Tupac Shakur directed one of his first videos. He recently released controversial video for The Rebellion Against All There Is featuring fellow rap legend Ray Luv. It is a powerful social commentary on their perspective on the current social climate in America. His video will be shown at the event as part of the panel discussion. Mac Mall is excited about the Live The Game event reminding the youth that “Life is a game of chess not checkers. Check every angle twice before you move once.”

Big Rich has been carrying the San Francisco rap torch for many years now. He’s widely known for several hits, one of which Frisco Anthem is still a revered among Hip-Hop fans nationwide.  He will be joined by community activist Danielle Banks as they both represent www.projectlevel.org . This organization helps inner city kids cultivate art and business skills for entrepreneurship.

DLabrie is National leader of Hip Hop Congress & President of RonDavoux Records from Oakland, California. He has been diligent as a community activist and rapper. His latest release It Ain't EZ featuring San Francisco Rap legend San Quinn is blowing up the underground scene.
