Casey have written and produced a read ’ n’ rap fable with a new message for our youth through story and hip-hop songs, to help kids choose the right path of activity - not passivity. Read ’n’ rap with your kids and join Melle Mel as he gives a Grammy-worthy performance. It’s “The Message” that counts and Melle and Casey are our kind of messengers for the future.”
