EXCLUSIVE: Twista Plans To Combat Chicago Violence With New Youth Center
(AllHipHop News) The violence in Chicago has been making national news as of late, with an exorbitant amount of people getting shot and killed on their streets everyday. Just last week, 19 people were shot over the weekend and according to the Chicago Tribune, gun violence has soared over 60 percent compared to the same time last year.
Rapper Twista was born and raised in Chicago, and he believes that gang violence is at the epicenter of the rise in homicides.
I can relate, being from Detroit. Gangs might not be as prevalent in Chicago, but the violence and the turmoil is definitely there. We must use Hip Hop to improve the situation of so many in our dying Midwestern cities.
