I know I said I'd hit y'all with some info on the new "Stop The Violence" movement and thanks to N9ne for reminding me...Rapper KRS-One has stepped forward and spearheaded a Stop The Violence movement and campaign, and he plans on spreading the word across the urban community by creating a new track entitled "Self Construction" which is scheduled to featuring more than 50 emcees! Some of those involved on the project include: 50 Cent, Ali Shaheed Muhammad, Busta Rhymes, Cassidy, Channel Live, Chingy, Doug E. Fresh, Dr. Cornell West, Fat Joe, Immortal Technique, KRS-One, Redman, Ludacris, MC Lyte, Melle Mel, Pastor Troy, Rick Ross, Saigon, Talib Kweli, David Banner, Planet Asia, The Game, Nelly, Whodini and many more are hopping on board daily.

The "Stop The Violence '08" mission statement reads:

"The Stop the Violence Movement (STVM) is a non-profit organization deeply rooted in the Hip Hop community with a mission to advance an ongoing series of movements to diminish global violence through education, critical dialogue, grassroots organizing and direct action.
The STVM achieves its mission by providing organized programs, workshops, symposiums and media campaigns that heighten the awareness of the effects of violence, create multi-generational dialogue and supplies parent and youth oriented educational tools for conflict resolution.
The STVM is calling upon fellow celebrities to take action. We are calling upon the mass media to address the images they put forth. We are calling for balance! Balance within ourselves, balance in the media, in our communities, in the world."

The track and official launch of the movement should be jumping off within the next month and best believe I'll have the full track and all the info as soon as it becomes available. But for now, you can check out some video footage captured during the recordings of the monumental track...
