To commemorate our 5th year anniversary: Welcome to World Up 2.0 website!!

This is a work in progress…. the new layout and design is phase 1 please be patient as we work it all out and get things where they need to be. The official launch will be 09/14/09.

After months of sleepless hours under the sickly glow of halogen lights and pumping our bodies full of caffeine we are ready to unveil the first phase of the new World Up 2.0. We have crossed the globe and have literally have a crew of people in different countries busy at work developing and tweaking the site.

Back Story:

Last summer we spent 6 weeks collaborating with a variety of amazing artists from around the globe to teach a class to 60 refugee youth as part of the International Rescue Committees summer school program.

During that process we discovered that our students and the artists involved were craving a more interactive learning experience from World Up. This is the first phase of that.

First, we have reached out far and wide to ask all of our friends and neighbors to collaborate on a global hip hop community blog. We are exploring urban culture around the world and how art, music, politics and community intersect. What is affecting people on a local level and how they are processing it through community action, art, and music.

Second, we are busting it up on a new radio show and we want your tracks to get them out there what is happening out there!! The radio show will be an hour long and available for anyone to listen to via a downloadable podcast. stay tuned for more information.

Third, we are partnering with new global digital distributor ONErpm.
…..more details forthcoming.
