"All of the Above Creative was established in 2010 by recording artist and educator Ozay Moore. Driven by the idea of being responsible with one’s position of influence in society, he sought out like minded individuals to spearhead a movement that uses Hip Hop culture to positively impact social change. This became a collective of artists and Hip Hop advocates that represent the broad spectrum of disciplines within Hip Hop culture. The crew not only seeks out opportunities to advance their craft but more importantly to empower the community through the arts and mentoring youth. All of the Above Creative has successfully built a Hip Hop Academy in the ReoTown District of Lansing and at Ottawa Hills High School in Grand Rapids. AOTA offers youth courses in Breaking, Emceeing, Writing (Graffiti Art), Deejaying, and Beatmaking/Music Production. AOTA’s classes are hosted by various members and teach dynamic lesson plans in foundation, technique and responsible social application. As a collective with accolades ranging from international tours with global fan bases to local life-long Hip Hop advocation, each member of AOTA has a desire to positively impact their community. All of The Above Creative pushes to be the change they want to see." - AOTA website
