I'm sure you've all heard the adverts on radio, seen the posters and watched the adverts on TV......
ItDoesntHaveToHappen is an anti-knife crime campaign designed to involve and captivate young people, to promote peace on the street, within their own communities.

Throughout February and March 2009, a number of anti-knife crime events took place in the 10 Tackling Knives Action Programme (TKAP) across England and Wales.

The events included school activities, street theatre, football tournaments, peer-to-peer marketing initiatives and workshops in attendance centres, all of which engaged thousands of young people with anti-knife crime messages.

The events informed young people of the dangers of carrying knives, equipped them with conflict resolution techniques, and helping them to find positive alternatives to knife culture.



ItDoesntHaveToHappen events were coordinated by young people, police, teachers, youth workers and community groups.


The campaign has now expanded, earlier this year a BeBo page was dedicated to ItDoesntHaveToHappen. The page allowed young people to take part, air their views and create their own ItDoesntHaveToHappen poster.

In addition, UK musicians, DJs and Actors have also took part in spreading the message.

Richard Blackwood dedicated a "Real Talk" seminar to ItDoesntHaveToHappen...

Bashy- Life- Official Video

Its finally been uploaded on Bashy TV! I'm beyond excited!!!!

The video is a true reflection of his lyrics. For everyone who follows my blog, you know how a feel about BIG songs being made as a video. I worry it will put me off as it will have no relevance to the lyrics and to all real music lovers you know we build out own video in our head before a video is even made, so exceptions are THERE!!!

But Bashy and 'Graphic state of mind' production NAILED it! A very on point video where Bashy's lyrics/message are truly delivered!!!

The video is self-explanatory! The lyrics show you, what some may say, true reflection of whats going on in the UK and feel its also voicing their opinions, however obviously some might disagree.... Either way its a video that will get to you, whether its shivers in your body, or a "damn"/ "true stories/real talk" reaction.... it speaks to you truthfully.

I've watched this video 5 times and counting!

Show your support! if you like it, spread it, if you love it........

I said it before, Ima Say it again!! Bashy's gonna blow up, hopefully not too commercial, but hes a massive role model, for all young people in the UK!!! As that wasteful chic from Big Brother said "Member I told you!" LOOL! :P
