Beats By The Bay Want Kids To "Stay In School" - By : Rud - February 5, 2009



The San Francisco Bay Area, known for its independent rappers and its problems with inner city youth dropping out of school, teams the two together to help ease the financial burden of the school system.

Rappers have joined together to make a CD for the purpose of generating revenue to be donated for much needed materials and canceled programs in our schools. This grass roots effort will help give optimism where limited hope exists as seen by our current dropout rate.

Kontac, a Bay Area rapper who was in part responsible for the film Beats by the Bay which featured MC Hammer, E-40 and Too Short is now embarking upon another project geared to help children stay in school. As a native of Richmond California he has seen his elementary and high-school friends drop out of school on a yearly basis. Kontac states; "In a lot of cases, my friends have died on the streets looking for a way out. This problem is now at epidemic proportions with 41% of blacks and latinos in the innercities having not completed the 12th grade. These 2006 stats fluxuate from city to city, but The Bay Area has been hit hard with this educational dilemma. Systemic education disparities, decreasing educational budgets, termination of after school
programs, crime and drugs all play key parts in influencing students to drop out of school."

The album is called "All Rap Aint Bad" and features the single "Stay In School" presented by Beats By The Bay and B.A.R.C (Bay Area Rappers Care) and features Keak Da Sneak, Jacka, Erase E, Mugzi, E-40, Hoodstarz, Federation and Mac N AK with production from Cholly J and Suga Kane. As the single is for profit we have been given a remix of the track for download and stream which you can hear below. To watch the video for the original click here.

The profits of the single will help generate funding for eight schools in the region and will benefit their terminated programs and supplies. Much needed books, physical education Items, training tools will be purchased and programs will be reinstated. Kontac says; "I now have kids myself and even as a teacher, I see the problem first hand. With the help of these concerned rappers and this music, we can set new goals and once again be optimistic about our educational goals."

Records stores around the Bay Area have joined in these efforts by stocking their shelves with the product. Radio station have also jumped on board by adding the song to the playlist and extending air time to this self-help educational campaign.
