Hasan Salaam - Miss America (Prod. by Snowgoons f/ DJ GI Joe)

The 3rd single off the Music Is My Weapon project. Miss America addresses the harsh realities of the past and present actions and policies of the United States. The video depicts how we must all accept some blame for the injustices in society and play our part in correcting them. If you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem. The concept behind Hasan Salaam's EP "Music Is My Weapon" is the belief that music can be used as a powerful tool in the pursuit of freedom, justice, and equality. With the release of the project, Hasan is aiming to prove that music can change people's lives, literally. All profits from the sale of the EP will be used to fund a school, clean water well, and medical clinic in Guinea-Bissau, West Africa. The school has already been completed, and construction of the well is underway. In November 2010, Hasan became the first U.S hip hop artist to ever perform in Bissau. On the same trip he worked with the young artists, taught creative writing to the youth, and headlined a concert to promote freedom of speech. The "Music Is My Weapon" project is the next step, in an effort to provide change to a country that remains one of the poorest and least politically stable in the world.
