Hasan Salaam interview and "It Takes a Village" collaboration

New Jersey MC Hasan Salaam has featured everywhere from MTV, The Source and the Washington post.

This is surely not the case in this instance as the “It Takes a Village” and “Music Is My Weapon” collaboration has already worked miracles in the West African country.
