Ever want to know what Kanye West, Common, and Lupe Fiasco are like in person? Well, we recently talked with David Abrams and Zack Harris of the S.H.O.W. Foundation on our GWHH radio show on 89.5 FM and they spilled a couple details about the three Chicago artists from their experience with them at the ‘Culture For Change’ concert. These two high schoolers are actually the guys responsible for making this happen the past two summers, coinciding with the Kanye West Foundation. Their ideas and impact helped Chicago high schools raise their grades & behavior in a completely innovative way! They discuss what lies ahead for them in the video and go into more detail about setting up this year’s show compared to last year’s, a little more about the S.H.O.W. initiative, and much more in the full audio above. Make sure to catch the full fifteen minute audio segment above to get the full story on how everything came together, and great insider highlights about the artists themselves. Enjoy!
