First, watch and smile.

This week, I found some new beats, brought to the world thanks to an after-school program in Minneapolis. The Y.N.RichKids rap about childhood subjects and have recorded eight albums since the group started in 2006.

I am glad someone in their community gave them an outlet for all their creative spunk. Without the YMCA and people there who cared, these little rappers could have been roaming around bored or up to no good. Instead, they produce some great tunes.

Plus, the group now has a super cute and nicely done music video to go with their catchy lyrics. Each kid steps up to the mic and busts their own style, whether that be quick lips or flailing arm. Any way they do it, it impresses locals and YouTube goers. Have to say, Cole and I are part of that more than 2.8 million views.
