My plan is to target more than just the hip-hop culture. So far I'm already creating story ideas as i can't wait to start making video on youtube for the Fiesta Movement and so far 8 that I have already written are not even hip-hop related. You will have to subscribe to my youtube account to stay updated on my videos.
