Revolution! A Napalm Clique Hip Hop Video



The Revolution music video was created by Eklectyk Creative Media for the Napalm Clique, a Bay Area Hip Hop group. The song lyrics and the original interview with Fred Hampton Jr. inspired a short story about the power of using hip hop in the classroom. The video blends imagery of history's revolutionaries with a vision of present day hip hop, reminding us of the necessary connection between hip hop and social change.
