About Me

The 3rd Rock Hip Hop StoryIn 2006 Archie Hill, a recording and performing rap artist, decided to go green with his hip hop style of music. When asked by a friend, who’s also a member of the Sierra Club, if he could write a rap song about saving the environment, and still make it sound cool enough that kids would enjoy it, he jumped at the challenge. Archie then created his first environmental rap song entitled “Think Green”. Archie attended several Earth Day events in 2006. He saw so many kids at these events that it dawned on him. The kids are the future, so why not send the message of environmental awareness to them as early as possible. Rap/Hip Hop is a very big part of youth culture today. It’s used in all forms of advertisement and media. Archie figured it would be the ideal format to relay the message of saving our environment, to the hearts and minds of our youth.Archie was then invited to perform “Think Green” at an Earth Day event in Hermosa Beach, California. The Mayor and other Hermosa residents were in attendance. At the conclusion of his performance, Archie received a wonderful ovation from what might be considered a very non-rap audience. This performance leads to more performances at a number of elementary schools in the Manhattan Beach area. The response from the kids, staff and parents inspired Archie to write other green raps such as, “Pick it Up”, the recycling song and “Waste Not Want Not”, the conservation song, to name a few.This is where the concept of 3rd Rock Hip Hop was born.
