Rhyme Lab
The Rocketown Rhyme Lab is an interactive creative outlet that allows youth to tell their story, voice their frustrations and find hope and strength in their artistic means and distinct voice. Individuals learn to rap, sing, write, create beats and produce professional sounding tracks while also being given the opportunity to perform at Summer Sessions Showcase and future Rocketown events. The course is designed to help build teens’ confidence, provide positive, credible mentors and create a constructive vision of hope to many of the students’ dire circumstances.
