After finding God, I took to my natural instincts and denounced hip-hop and its elements because I viewed them as bad influences. However, I grew up with the culture and therefore could not give up on it that easily. After a 4-month hiatus from hip-hop, I have revamped myself to find the positivity in it.

The Boston hip-hop scene is just oozing with positivity and on Feb. 16, 2013, over 200 people went to Paris Street Art Gallery in Everett to buy sneakers and T-shirts, take pictures of wonderful art, and watch B-Boy/B-girl Battles, and MC performances during Can I Kick it.

Due to my love of positivity I decided to find out why Can I Kick it is good for the youth. “Events like this are good for my kids because it gives them an opportunity to use their money wisely,” said Missy Raduazzo, a parent who brought her children to the event “ and it gives them an incentive to do better in school”.
