Student Hip-Hop Organization

     For this article I found the official website for the organization. This was a good place to find out information on the topic because they are the founders of the organization giving them the most authority to discuss the subject.

     If you're a fan of hip-hop then you've most likely heard of a student run foundation called Student Hip-Hop Organization. However, if you're like me and know as much about hip-hop as you do astrophysics (whatever that is?) then you're in the right place. Founded in 2006 by a group of students at Virginia Commonwealth University who wanted an organization that would foster student artists as well as help connect students with successful artists. Students who are interested in making hip hop their career someday can find help from the Student Hip-Hop Organization in finding connections with record labels and producers. 

     This source will help me in the making of the documentary in our projects because it gave me an idea of what the organization is, the people in it, as well as the goals the founders and member strive for. Although this website was very informative it will work as a stepping stone more than a pillar in my project. By this I mean for my next way of garnering information I will be doing one on one interviews with the leader of the UK branch as well as interviews with current members. After reading, I was left with one question in particular and I will include it in one of my interviews. How many of the students that participate in the organization go on to make a successful career out of music? Without knowing this, I can't take the organization seriously.
