The power of Hip-Hop, a soundtrack in the lives of youth and adults, has spread to preschoolers through a new educational DVD.
The DVD, titled It's Hip-Hop, Baby!, encourages kids age 2-6 to explore music, language and songs by featuring original tunes as well as traditional toddler songs such as "ABCs," "If You're Happy and You Know It" and "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes."
It's Hip-Hop, Baby! sprang from Emmy Award-winning television producer Candi Carter's desire to find a new toddler video that would appeal to her 3-year-old child.
"My son always loved it when I sang his favorite songs in the kitchen, tapping out rhythms and beats with spatulas and spoons, so that's how this started," Carter said. "Now, with It's Hip-Hop, Baby! there is something cool, exciting and educational for those hip parents in search of the next best thing!"
Carter, who has a BA in Broadcast Communications from Boston College, started her television career at CNN in Atlanta, GA and later produced news specials and children
