What are your kids listening to? with Larry "Lak" Henderson

Ms. Mary & Dr. Janet welcome special guest Larry "Lak" Henderson, CEO of Smart Music Entertainment. Smart Music's mission is to empower learning in students through hip-hop music. They go beyond gimmicky-sounding nursery rhymes, and instead offer lessons in history, politics, geography, current events, and money management that are rarely taught - using an authentic hip-hop sound. The music has proven to be both popular and effective.  Lak's album, Lesson One: Hip-Hop & Education has hit Amazon bestseller lists, reaching #1 in Hot New Releases and #8 in Educational Music.  It has also received rave reviews in the media.  CBS radio calls it "creative, innovative, and informative," and The Urban Times says, "Lak is taking the reigns from the higher powers who control hip-hop, and bringing it back to its original essence."  In addition, as a community servant, Lak also offers workshop to youth groups, giving live performances and stressing the importance of education. www.smart-hiphop.com
