On this episode we explore the intersection of Hip Hop and social change with Yogi "Y?" Guyadin (@whynotshowlove) on the latest episode of "Hip Hop Can Save America." Host Manny Faces engages with the Hip Hop ARTivist and educator on a range of topics, from the relevance of intergenerational wisdom in the art form to the innovative methods of teaching and community empowerment through art, music and Hip Hop culture. This insightful conversation sheds light on Yogi Guy's personal evolution and his commitment to using Hip Hop and other musical genres and artforms as vehicles for activism and education.

We learn about about Y?'s philosophy on learning and his non-hierarchical approach to teaching, which he calls "cypher pedagogy." The episode touches on his ability to merge passion with purpose, his experience in nurturing young talent in underserved communities, and the establishment of his company, Creative Expressions, which seeks to enhance the careers of fellow musicians, artists, and educators.
