Beats Rhymes and Life Inc. is a non-profit organization based in Oakland, CA, dedicated to empowering at-promise youth through the therapeutic power of hip hop. Since 2004, they have been working to reduce stigma and increase access to culturally-congruent, strength-based, and youth-centered services for marginalized youth, particularly youth of color.

With a focus on leadership, collaboration, transformation, connection, and innovation, Beats Rhymes and Life Inc. has served numerous youth and trained social service providers, helping them become community problem solvers and peer leaders. Their unique approach involves teaching students to work through trauma by expressing themselves through music, producing and recording albums, and creating a safe and inclusive space for healing.
