Time
to Rhyme
Nick
Sprague used his cell phone as a lyric sheet as he performed
his song at the Palace Theater on Saturday. Sprague, along
with 13 other Albany County elementary-, middle- and high-school
students, recited their “positive, anti-violence rhymes and
lyrics” as part of “More Rhymes Less Crimes.” Student performers
rhymed and sang about the violence they see on Albany streets
and how it affects them. Put together by the Albany District
Attorney’s office in conjunction with Jamz 96.3, the event
allowed local youth to show off their rhyming ability in front
of judges from the community. Winners were promised the opportunity
to professionally record their work in the Jamz 96.3 studio.
A CD with the recordings will be released in the future. The
event took place as an extension of the DA’s Enough program,
which is designed to discourage violence in the community
and strengthen the relationship between the DA’s office and
the community.
