Just about every morning and afternoon when Krista walked up to the front of the school, a group of students in a circle were spitting out rhymes in a cypher. They had more passion in those moments than she typically saw in class. She wanted that passion to come alive and have a public audience. Her goal was to create a recording studio on campus, so students could create, produce and post their music.

Krista connected with a local producer and rap artist Javier “Ripdee” Castillo. He worked with a group of interested students every Wednesday afternoon for approximately four months, writing, performing, producing, learning and growing together as a group.
