" In November 2009 we produced and facilitated our first workshop for our organization in Rio De Janeiro in the favela Complexo do Maré, in collaboration with an NGO named Luta Pela Paz (Fight For Peace). As our organization has evolved throughout the years in many facets including creating Global Hip Hop Compilations, it was a no-brainer to record a project for Brazil. " said John-Sandy II.
