“Kreating Realistic Universal New School Knowledge”
— The KRUNK Movement
Who We Are
The KRUNK Movement is a year-round youth production program for high school students that focuses on the elements of hip-hop through songwriting, production, art, and technology. By exploring relevant issues of social justice and health, the student-led collective creates engaging art of varying forms. Students learn about technical, professional, and industry-specific skills that are necessary to succeed as an artist. In between projects, students can expect to experience the KRUNK community through local/regional trips and team building experiences!

Our Projects
Moral Duality (2023)
In the summer of '23, a group of 25 high-school students came together to explore life's complexities through the lens of superheroes and villains. They spent six weeks working on five amazing shows, diving into themes like insecurity, triumph, friendship, and betrayal. Now, these experiences have come together in "Moral Duality," an EP that features a few of the best tracks and beats from their transformative summer.
Su(Stained) Reality (2024)
Experience the compelling rhythms and expressive lyrics of "Su(Stained) Reality," a unique mixture of hip-hop, R&B, and spoken word. This album, created by the bright young minds of Pittsburgh, is a reflection of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals—to create a cleaner earth by 2030. It doesn't just focus on environmental protection. it also emphasizes social equality, economic growth, and cultural diversity. “Su(Stained) Reality" isn't just an album; it's a movement.
