Ras King spent the better part of his childhood bouncing between group homes after his mother was incarcerated. He became a drug dealer and hustler, but after seeing friends and his cousin murdered, he struggled to find a way out. Now he's using his street smarts to educate and mentor youth, delivering a message of inspiration and hope through Freedom Time Magazine and the Human Improvement Movement, an organization assisting African-Canadian youth and single mothers. Together, King and his comrades offer a revolutionary style of hip hop music to empower and strengthen the community. Ngardy Conteh's Soldiers for the Streets shows the power marginalized voices can have when they're raised in unison.
