RHYME X BRONX CONNECT RTG NORTH “GOD KNOWS”

🎤 R.H.Y.M.E. Summer Hip Hop & Mentoring Program Hits the Bronx

This summer, Thrive Collective’s R.H.Y.M.E. (Rhymes Help Young Minds Excel) program teamed up with BronxConnect’s RTG (Release the Grip) North for an unforgettable season of music, mentoring, and creative expression.

Through a dynamic blend of hip hop, storytelling, and project-based learning, participants came together to share their personal journeys—crafting original songs that reflect both where they are and where they aspire to be.

Building on previous R.H.Y.M.E. and B.E.A.T.S. (Basic Engineering and Audio Tech Skills) sessions at RTG North, this summer’s program dove even deeper into beat making, audio engineering, songwriting, and performance. Under the leadership and mentorship of R.H.Y.M.E. teaching artists Conquest and K-Storm, participants leveled up their creative skills while gaining tools for personal growth and leadership.

Special thanks to our incredible collaborators:

• BronxConnect & RTG North for hosting and supporting the program

• Thrive Collective for making this mission possible

• Eric Mason & The Mason Jar Creative for filming and editing the music video

• Projectivity for mixing and mastering the tracks

This is more than music—it’s mentorship, community, and hope in action.

Stay tuned—R.H.Y.M.E. is coming soon to a neighborhood near you
