MS 57 James Weldon East Harlem scholars in partnership with Roads to Success and the Thrive Collective R.H.Y.M.E program present “Overcome”

James Weldon Middle School 57 students in East Harlem met twice a week for 12 weeks with RHYME teaching artists Randy Mason for the 2024 spring semester to collaboratively write, record and film an original Hip Hop anthem and music video titled “Overcome”

Special thanks to Roads to Success, Eric Mason, Rob Ayala and the Ayala family. The song was written by MS 57 James Weldon scholars, recorded at MS 57, cover art designed by MS 57 scholars and produced by Joshua Gabriel, video by Eric Mason. The beat was produced by R.H.Y.M.E legend Rob Ayala who is no longer with us. His legacy lives on through the powerful R.H.Y.M.E work that he helped to develop and was so passionate about.
