This past weekend, Waka Flocka was in town. While visiting, he attended the launch of the "Street Order" campaign. A concept conceived by the Museum 44 "Where Hip Hop Meets History" program, joined by Plugged Fella Music Group, Blok Club DJs, and United in Peace Inc. The campaign launch included Waka Flocka as well as other Chicago artists, such as Chella H, Bo Deal,Scientific,
Naki The Beat Man, DJ Radio Champ, DJ Kool Ant and Media Partner Urban Grind TV
and Da Konnect Media filmed the important event.
While at the launch, Waka invested his time to do music videos with some of the local artists in Chicago. Museum 44 "Where Hip Hop Meets History" named in honor of the 44th president, Barack Obama is the youth and young adult division of the A. Philip
Randolph Pullman Porter Museum, aimed at
combating violence among youth through creative arts. David A. Peterson Jr, president of the APRPPM
stated, "We understand that it takes a voice such as Waka to reach the
youth and to spark a change among them because of his influence."
We are very pleased that these artists have
chosen to use their gifts in the genre of Hip Hop, to help address the violence
in our community, Peterson said. "Some might say —how can someone who makes hood music dare
to try to stop the Violence. Our philosophy is who better to do it?
