We are a family owned and operated business. Based in our hometown
of St. Louis, Mo. Our involvement in various teaching strategies and
abstract methods became more than a moment in time when we had a
chance to experience the effectiveness and benefits of implementing
differential learning styles when we were Home-schooling our own 2
children Darren and Christopher each with 2 totally different
learning styles.
I asked my oldest son Darren, 12 at the time to write a
multiplication song for his younger brother Christopher 8.
We always knew he loved music, Hip-Hop particularly but we were
really amazed with the finished product. We were fully unaware at
this time that this was the beginning of HipHop-Edu.Com It was
obvious that our son had an extreme gift for writing in which he quickly
began to expound and build his skills of producing and writing to a
professional level.
When he graduated home-school he attended a 2 year accelerated
school for computer networking and graduated with 4 additional
certifications to advance himself in his field.
Quickly identifying his heart was in producing and effecting
change he and his brother started an independent record label and
began producing conscious hip-hop music. Becoming frustrated with the
negative energy and industry politics, realizing the power in hip-hop
music he began to focus on affecting change using educational content
embedded with hip-hop beats.
In June 2007, Black Gold Edutainment LLC was born. He began with 3
subjects, his library now includes over 14 music based learning CD's
and 2 DVD's.
