We call it The Street. It's a place of energy, creativity and community. The Street is where real life happens and where change begins. Join Amir Sulaiman and some of urban music's most powerful voices as they spit light – conscious lyrics and revolutionary poetry – and take the message of mercy, action and resistance to our streets. Ours is a message of hope not hate. For life without violence and anger. For action against injustice. Our time now!
