- [Voiceover] Real voice, please.
-
- Mic check, one, two.
-
- [Voiceover] I used to feel like I
-
didn't have, no talent.
-
I used to feel like the only thing I knew was
-
the streets.
-
But now I feel like, I can rap!

- My name is Ian Levy. I am a school counselor
-
here the New Visions Charter High School
-
for advanced math and science 2.
-
This is a space within my counseling office where
-
students come to write and record tracks about
-
different emotional experiences that they've had.
-
- Music is therapy,
-
so he just created a space where kids can come
-
talk about their problems, talk about
-
specific problems they had, and transfer
-
all that energy into music, especially hip-hop music.

♫ "Catch a conflict, caught a bomb threat

♫ Next topic
-
♫ Celebrity holding image got me sicker than clinics
-
♫ I put a finish to that, man we all know it's nonsense
-
♫ Man I lost it, yeah"
-
- Once you step in the office it's just a
-
whole different vibe.
-
You have other people who are thinking as
-
hard as you are about the craft
-
and like they can exchange other concepts that you
-
would have never thought about.
-
And that you can also apply your writing and
-
record and make something dope.

♫ "I represent the colors of youth
-
♫ Our color's the booth
-
♫ Where every syllable that comes out from under my tooth
-
♫ A thunderous proof to why I'm always rumbling troops
-
♫ The path to riches always there I'm always in the pursuit"
-
- I learned from Mr. Levy that
-
if you can put all your thoughts and emotions
-
in just one song, and you can
-
try to rap with it, like just go ahead and do it.
-
♫ I like to say I battled obstacles but some say I flex
-
♫ I guess I'm best when I write honest
-
♫ I'm servin' up a pot full of coffee I'm a ground fresh
-
♫ Yeah my ground's fresh
-
♫ My ground's fresh"
-
- I used to be really shy.
-
I learned how to be more open with myself as a person.
-
I got more comfortable, I'm talking, I'm making friends
-
and I'm speaking all that through my rap.
-
- I come into the classroom and I automatically
-
start rapping.
-
I can accurately express my feelings here,
-
Like, I can act like myself.
-
I definitely understand myself better now.

♫ Slick with the words you can start to see
-
♫ Some more of me
-
♫ Pawns what I make when the rain drop metaphorically
-
♫ My mindstate is different from what it seems like
-
♫ I'm 'posed to be
-
♫ Let the temple run through my words so I
-
♫ won't forced to be
-
♫ Sleeping on the...
-
- It's not really about school.
-
I mean it is about school because we're in school,
-
but it's about life.
-
And working towards building something for yourself
-
that you love and enjoy, and this is helping you
-
to understand who you are and how you feel.
