PROject US EP4: The Sound Suite

The Sound Suite, run by Donda’s House, brings together young musicians and emcees to create music in the context of commercial production for a client, while also providing critical feedback on their own music.  In this episode we see that making music is hard work. We see how songs comes together and the contentious debates that can arise from collaborative writing. Seasoned producer TL Williams and grammy-award winning artist , Che “Rhymefest” Smith are on hand to guide, mentor, and yes offer their critiques of the young artists.

Inpoints presents a special series on PROject US, a fashion, music, and media program in Chicago. Shot in the summer of 2015, the PROject US series is the first time we have been able to spend more than just a day or two with a program. With thirteen episodes we go into greater depth into the experience of the young people and their learning experience.

PROject US is a program of Chicago Public Library, Commonwealth Foundation, and Donda’s House, Inc supported by Hive Chicago Fund for Connected Learning at the Chicago Community Trust.
