Urban Block Party

ODAEP's Urban Block Party App helps students relive the important messages, performances, and music experienced during the live school performances that are a part of the longest running anti-bullying movement in NYC. Designed to combat the crisis of bullying and teen violence through edutainment, UBP concerts feature rising local artists such as DJ Relly Rell (Hot 97.1, 106 & Park), Lucky Banks, Cashflow Harlem, Lea Robinson and Von Middleton who’ve become instant fan favorites with youth audiences. Embracing the call to be positive role models, each artist not only shares talent but their experiences with bullying while reinforcing a message of tolerance and respect among students. To date, UBP has been experienced by more than 10,000 DOE students across 75+ public schools across the (5) boroughs.
