Hip-hop at the Bop Stop

Refresh Collective engaged youth and professional MC’s, poets, singers and beat makers for this important community song writing project. We shared life stories of personal struggle and success. Our goal is to connect people through honest storytelling and shared lessons learned. Our hope is to encourage each others’ hearts through our stories even as we continue to heal from life’s struggles and share our successes.

MC/ Poet/ Songwriter Kuf Knotz and classically trained Harpist / Guitarist / Pianist / Vocalist Christine Elise have combined forces to create a new album. The unlikely pair connected and built the project with a similar vision, wanting to create positive, forward thinking music driven by a strong message. Both individuals are intrinsically motivated to foster community growth through musical expression.
