Draze’s most recent single “The Hood Ain’t The Same” will be featured as a part of the program to celebrate the 50^th Anniversary of the Civil Rights Act. The music video highlights the effects of gentrification in the inner cities across America, and has been making news nationwide.

This goes to show that this movement speaks to our struggle today. I am both humbled and honored” says Draze.
