AFRICAN AMERICAN HIGH SCHOOL MUSIC GROUP RELEASES GROUNDBREAKING ANIMATED VIDEO ADDRESSING CURRENT SOCIAL ISSUES
Columbus, OH -- The Paragon Project, a revolving collective of nationally-recognized high school artists, found a unique way to release its fourth album as schools shut down and live performances stopped due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The full project was released as an illustrated lyric video on July 10, 2020, via YouTube. The album features songs with Truck North of the Grammy award-winning band The Roots and nerdcore rapper Mega Ran.
The Paragon Project Vol. 4: Add-A-Lesson uses music to tell a coming of age story of a young adult tackling trauma, social media addiction, depression, peer pressure, substance abuse, and experimentation. The project features original hip hop, R&B, and afrobeat music written, produced, and arranged by students from Grammy award-winning Fort Hayes Metropolitan Education Center, an art-centered public high school in Columbus, Ohio.
