Wake Yo' Game Up!
Featured song: Change the World by Too Short (feat. B-Rad)
Town Business Network (TBN) has assembled a group of artists from the San Francisco Bay Area “to change the face of American politics.” The hip-hop album, “Wake Yo’ Game Up!” promotes social change and empowerment through community awareness and the act of voting. Artists are free to explore the theme of “Voting and Social Change” with two limitations: songs must be non-partisan and must not contain curse words. All artists agreed to donate their time and creative talents to this project.
The album has been distributed to a variety of venues in the East Bay, such as high schools, colleges, shopping centers, barbershops, and community events. Through a generous in-kind donation 5,000 copies of the album have been provided to TBN for distribution. These copies have been distributed at no charge to prospective voters throughout the East Bay.
Songs are available to download for free at http://wakeyogameup.org
