Atmosphere, a well know rap group, brings a voice to domestic violence by preforming a candid rap about domestic violence called "The Last to Say". MTV has joined the fight by premiering the music video for this song on many of their channels such as MTV2, MTVU and their activist focused channel ACT.
This music video brings the issue of domestic violence out in the open to an age group who often suffer in silence at the hands of a boyfriend or girlfriend in years as early as junior high school. Teen dating violence is on the rise and is most often explained away by the victim as sport related injuries. Finally, a music group has decided enough is enough! This video made me cry when I listened to the words. Each person who stands up to violence, every voice that is heard can make a difference in even just one victims life!
