Conversation with SJ Hazim, Hip Hop Artist, Writer, Producer & Positive Activist Keepin It Real w/Caramel "As We Say 100"

Keepin It Real w/Caramel had a fun and entertaining conversation with SJ Hazim. SJ is a very outgoing and passionate person. He loves what he does for people, and he gives out great energy in the world. He shines with positivity on everyone he meets. SJ Hazim is the man behind the writing and production for the 70th Brown vs. Board compilation song “Levitate”, which includes over 20 talents from the Topeka, KS area. Picture the style of “We Are The World”. Topeka, KS played a crucial role as one of the key locations where the Brown vs. Board cases originated. African American families, such as Oliver Brown, had a daughter who was denied enrollment in a nearby white school. Over time, the Brown vs. Board decision became a catalyst
for the Civil Rights Movement, which helped lead to further legal and social changes for equality. In 1954, the case of Brown vs. Board of Education was a landmark in the Supreme Court ruling that declared the racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional. This was considered one of their most celebrated victories in a long time. To this day, it remains one of the most defining moments in US history. Brown vs. Board was a coordinated group of five lawsuits against school districts in Kansas, South Carolina, Delaware, Virginia, and the District of Columbia.
Some of those featured on the song are Brendon Elliott, a violinist and Julliard graduate who has earned distinction through his performances with the New York Philharmonic and as a guest soloist with the Virginia and Richmond Symphony Orchestras. -Bizzy gained recognition in the hip-hop community as he was featured on Tech N9ne’s track “Erbody But Me” on the 2016 album.
