About Us

The Counterbalance is the official blog of Words Beats & Life Inc., a nonprofit organization based in Washington D.C. This site is a platform for our global extended family to bring lite to politics and culture beyond the work done by our organization each day.

We are unapologetic advocates for the transformative power of hip-hop culture in all its forms, empowering artists to relentlessly create and refine systems that demonstrate positive change through our individual and collective brilliance. We create arts based educational experiences that equip youth, arts managers, teaching artists and scholars to move from theory to practice.
