Who We Are...

This year iTLF’s staff is working diligently to create more opportunities for inner-city youth. Our top priority is a new mobile Wi-Fi/internet computer lab to enhance the areas of; reading fluency, writing ability, homework assistance, computer software/hardware tutorials, improve listening skills, and small group project based collaboration. If a participant of iTL Foundation improves in one of these area a the others are sure to improve as well. The lab will be set up with 10 workstations.The software includes Literacy Base Phonics, Microsoft™ Office Suit, and many other software that support academics. We host many of our actives at local churches and private venues, many of which have a commercial kitchen, main banquet hall, (holds approximately 800-1000 people) a multi-purpose room, and a performing arts area. Aside from a top-of-the-line A/V system we also have two 80″ screen & projection system for showing much needed visuals.

To evolve is to live in a constant state of learning, often chameleonic and with detours off the path you first set out to conquer. Aulsondro “Novelist” Hamilton p/k/a “Emcee N.I.C.E.”, a veteran Hip Hop artist, producer, writer and all-around creative, has been climbing a long and winding ladder of musical leadership that’s included collaborations with rap icons NAS and 2Pac (posthumously), a song on the soundtrack Academy Award-winning film “Crash,”, NBA theme song, an animated music series “Da Jammies”,  a cover of a Prince song, enthusiastically approved by The Artist himself. and now a Stellar Award Winner in radio, gospel music’s highest honor. Yet all along the impact N.I.C.E. has been grinding hardest to achieve is as a man with uplifting messages of love, optimism and Christian inspiration tailor made to change the lives of urban youth that need them the most. N.I.C.E.’s path has triumphantly led to the independent chart-topping success of his 1^st single “I Got Angels” and debut album, PRAISE – faith-fortified message music bonded with the street heat of urban pop’s hottest hits and, most importantly, powerful metaphorical lyrics kicked by a wise young brother who has lived, strived and studied that of which he speaks. Plus, as an author as well as co-creator of the urban animated series “Da Jammies,” the first black animated music series for kids on Netflix and is now on xFinity Comcast, Amazon Prime, Roku, and Apple TV, N.I.C.E. knows no creative limits.
