January 14, 2012 - Originally a rap group formed by Kalonji Jama Changa, among others, in 2001, FTP evolved into the FTP Movement in 2004 and encompasses everything from feeding the homeless to police brutality watch to community youth programming across 13 U.S. cities. Last night, Pal's Lounge on Auburn Avenue filled up for a night of soulful hip-hop for the ninth iteration of the FTP Movement's Crew Love events. The goal was to raise $2000 for the Movement's next endeavor, purchasing a building off of Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard on the West End of Atlanta to expand their communality building operations. The bill for the night, hosted by Dres Tha Beatnik, included Stahhr, Binkis, Alive and Well, Arablack, Big Vision, and Queen Nef.

FTP is planning the next installment of Crew Love, in celebration of our project "Black is Beautiful, Black is Powerful" on January 14, 2012 @ Pals Lounge. We would be honored if you would offer your talents to this event.
If you have been frequenting the Feed The People program, you may have heard us talk about the need for an FTP building in which we can maximize effectiveness of our outreach. This building is needed more than ever as the country's state of affairs are leaving more and more of our people in dire straits. We seek to be more of an asset to the people.
Please let me know if you have the time and energy to lend your talents to the struggle. We are forever grateful for all that youve already done for the cause. It is indeed an honor to work side by side with you in the streets.
Please let me know if you can get down asap so that we can start on promotional materials.
Asante sana in advance.
Loyalty,
