Reflection
Reflection

Seeing the increasing effects of climate change in Ohio, like more tornadoes, floods, and heatwaves, inspired me. I wanted to use music to address these issues because it's a powerful way to connect with people. Mixing old-school rap with modern hip-hop, I aimed to create a song that makes people think and feel deeply about climate change. Creating this song made me feel both frustrated and hopeful. Frustrated by the lack of action from some leaders, but hopeful that through music, we can motivate people to demand real change. Writing the lyrics helped me turn my concerns into something positive and impactful. My message is that climate change is real and urgent. We need to hold our leaders accountable and push for strong policies to fight climate change. It's time for action, not just words, to protect our environment and future generations. Together, we can build a movement for real change.
