Hip-hop Is The Most Potent Musical Genre To Raise Awareness Amongst The Youth: Krsna On International Youth Day 2021

I learnt early in my career with songs like 바카라˜Kaisa Mera Desh바카라™ that when you touch a nerve or vocalise a sentiment that is widely felt by the youth, in an artform that they relate to, such as hip-hop music, it can elicit a powerful reaction. We have seen many instances in the recent past such as the Black Lives Matter movement in the USA where youth have been instrumental in starting important conversations and dialogues that are now pushing for reforms.  

Bringing the county바카라™s youth together and harnessing its power is perhaps easier said than done, since even though we are one nation, ideologies and mindsets differ across regions and social strata. But this is where I feel art forms like music and cinema play an important role. As a rapper, I know our words hold weight and young people listen to us so it becomes imperative to push our listeners to think for themselves and not be influenced by societal stigma or pressure.  

50 percent of India바카라™s population is said to be under 25 and yet the average age of our government바카라™s cabinet, though an improvement from previous years, is still 58, leaving a lot to be desired in terms of younger politicians with progressive ideas taking over the reigns of this country. It is important that we, as a young country, come together and make choices that will shape our futures, be it in terms of electing the right representatives, fighting systemic corruption, eradicating social inequality and so on.  

I as a rapper, have in the past used my pen and my voice to bring awareness but I feel like a lot more of it is needed in our community. Hip-hop was a form of music made to fight oppression and is perhaps the most potent genre of music to raise awareness amongst the young.
