Up Next Recordings, James Lyng High School’s student-run record label, returns with a second collection of music written and recorded by James Lyng students, entitled “Up Next Mixtape #2”. The collection includes rap songs, instrumental hip hop and R&B tracks written and performed by students in W.O.R.D. (a hip hop literacy program at James Lyng), created in the school’s student-centered music classes, as well as performances of cover songs by James Lyng’s choir.
The mixtape is the second release from Up Next Recordings, a record label organized as a part of the school’s entrepreneurship class. With this second mixtape, Up Next Recordings hit its stride with a strong and consistent collection of music. The songs on the mixtape were recorded at James Lyng’s own professional quality recording studio. In 2015, the school officially became an urban arts high school, incorporating hip hop, street art, street dance and music into many subject areas, as well as offering intensive small group and individualized instruction in the popular arts. |
