Local Youth Rap Group Muzic Matterz have made a song and video this Christmas to help raise funds for local homeless charities Caring Coins and the Simon Community.
The ’Shine A Light’ song and music video production proved to be a highly motivating yet emotional experience as the young rap artists whilw writing lyrical stories about real life people truly felt what it would be like to be in the shoes of those who are freezing on our streets right now or unable to buy their children even basic presents this Christmas.
Rapper Cú Chulainn spoke of how the intitiative came about. "On a recent Zoom meeting for local youth rap group Muzic Matterz the subject of Christmas came up and they discussed the fact that there are many people out there who are isolated depressed, hungry and alone this time of year. These super talented up and coming young rappers were instantly hit by a wave of awareness, inspiration and courage as they decided in that moment to make a difference for other peoples lives this Christmas. These switched on teenagers came up with a song and music video that creates awareness about homelessness and poverty in our country."
