    No More Trickin the Kidz! Literacy is the intervention --Arts is the key!

From the very beginning KL has had the intention of changing an unjust order and therefore an intention to replace the old with something new. Counterculture needs the people! KL seeks to empower youth by developing programs that preserve, promote and present urban (Hip-Hop) culture, both as an art form and social justice movement.
