In the Spring of 2011, YEP released two hip-hop videos featuring several students from YEP’s Village program. The video highlights four Village students performing their own lyrics that explain what the Village has meant to them and the daily struggles they face. The video also features local two local New Orleans rappers, Y. Luck and K. Gates. YEP staff decided to create the videos as a fun and interactive way to engage Village students and to create a tool help the youth to reach out and encourage other young people who are out of school to come to YEP to pursue their GED.
