FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

HIP HOP ACTIVISTS TAKE A STAND AGAINST POLICE BRUTALITY -

LIVE FROM A HOOD NEAR YOU: THE 'ORGANIZE DA HOOD TOUR' JUST ANNOUNCED

Los Angeles, California -- (December 11, 2006) - Announced today, the 'Organize Da
Hood Tour', featuring performances and lectures by a number of hip hop's socially
conscious heavy hitters, will be kicking off in Atlanta, GA early 2007.

Sponsored by the FTP Movement (http://www.ftpmovement.tk), Guerilla Nation, O.U.T.R.A.G.E.
and Contraband PR, the 'Organize Da Hood Tour' is set to stop in 7 cities and
several locations yet to be announced, early next year.

Hosted by the hip hop group A-Alikes (RBG Family), Kalonji Jama Changa (FTP
Movement), Rough (Abandoned Nation), Wise Intelligent (Poor Righteous Teachers) and
other special guests, the tour will tackle issues such as Police
Brutality/Terrorism, Poverty/Homelessness, Political Prisoners, Street Codes and
more.

A mix of political activism with a heavy streetz flavor, tour organizers are calling
it a form of "edu"tainment necessary in times like these, when one need only turn on
the news to find examples of the growing disparity between "the haves and the have
nots". The attempt will be to appeal to the hood, (where much of this disparity is
experienced), local universities and everywhere in between, in an effort to open up
the dialogue to a greater social problem.

In addition to a number of hip hop artists, numerous grassroots and community
organizations are also expected to be in attendance. Due to the fact that each stop
of the tour will feature daily lectures and panel discussions, as well as nightly
hip hop performances, it is expected that the tour will attract a wide array of
attendees, both loyal to the hip hop community and to the hip hop political movement
itself.
