In episodes four and five we see how Mylene and Ezekiel both are hustling to make their separate dreams become a reality, in order to escape the poverty and trauma that they experience in the Bronx. Through hip hop Mylene, Ezekiel, and their friends are all trying to escape the traumas of the Bronx because they see a way out of their situations through the success of their crafts. The name of episode five is “ You Have Wings, Learn to Fly” to me this means that they all have these amazing abilities they just need to find the means to spread it.One good example from the show is at the beginning of episode five where Mylene is able to convince her father that her singing is not going against the word of God. From the beginning of the show Myene’s father has tried to impede her from even pursuing her career because of his religious beliefs, but she found a way to convince him that the music she was making was further spreading the word of God.                  

  Kuttner and Hammond explain that through Project Hip Hop the goal is to help the youth have the tools that will actually allow them to utilize hip hop in the most effective way. Kuttner and Hammond explained that the project does so by, “Through the engagement with history, political education, ritual, activism, and collective artistic practice, PHH connects young artists to their past, their peers, and their purpose” (45). The PHH teaches the youth how to incorporate a multitude of aspects into their craft in order to elevate their message and the future of the hip hop community. On page 55 Kuttner and Hammmond explain that, “Hip Hop is only as strong as the community that holds it together”. The PHH tries to inform the youth about the past of hip hop in order to preserve the cultural power of hip hop  because it is easily dismantled by the commercialization of it. Episodes four and five emphasize the cultural power of hip hop because they demonstrate how hip hop can be used to elevate their situations.
