About the Author: Omowale Adewale, born Lawrence James was born in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, NY.

The fledgling organization received significant recognition in the organizing world and music industry, particularly, Hip-Hop. G.A.ME accomplished providing health care to artists for a short time and helped artists understand the politics of the music industry. Their change in adopting projects to help young people of color redefine themselves still blossom today. In 2004, Omowale's first published work was featured in Socialism & Democracy's 36th issue "Hip-Hop, Race and Cultural Politics."
