"Lyrical Xpressions III aims to bring the music industry together to celebrate diversity, creativity and, most importantly, to celebrate the driving force behind the industry - young people," said Orlando Clement, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder at StreetVibes Youth. "We were overwhelmed by the support we have received from the music industry, from our sponsors, and from the young people we work with. StreetVibes Youth aims to provide postive opportunities, education and experiences for young people who are disengaging with school or are at risk of getting involved with anti-social behaviour or criminal activity, and we reach over 600 young people each year. Giving them an opportunity to perform alongside the cream of the urban music industry will be an inspiring experience for them."
