The Album is being Executive Produced by The HHHOF, TeamBackPack, and Hip Hop Global Media & Entertainment. Proceeds from the album will benefit three initiatives including the building & operation of The Hip Hop Hall of Fame + Museum Coming to NYC, The Hip Hop Arts Academy, a youth education program partner of the HHHOF, and The TeamBackPack Water Development Program, assisting India, Africa, and Developing countries, with our global partners Generosity.org and The Rockwell Foundation, in an effort to raise at least $21K to build 3 water wells all around the world. Every single one of these wells will be dedicated on behalf of hip-hop culture, showing that collectively hip-hop can make a difference in the world. TBP is a hip hop music & culture movement, and entertainment hub for the global underground and independent hip-hop music artists founded by Dev Tejwani and Armani Cooper. TBP, like the HHHOF, believes hip-hop is the most important idea for this generation in influencing positivity, self-awareness, and change throughout the world.
