Generation by generation, the stability of communities and society relies on the interconnectedness of members and their sense of collective responsibility to raise, protect, and guide generations. For humanity to thrive, this interconnection should be the norm. 'It takes a village to raise a child' is a well-known saying that embraces the collective responsibility of all community members in the well-being, growth, and development of children. While it seems outdated and obsolete, the saying still has its implications and significance. The intervention tour, 'It STILL Takes a Village' Gun Down Initiative 2023 Hip Hop Edition is grounded on the concept of this collective aid and the joint effort of community members to address gun violence, drug abuse, and the associated mental health problems, as well as behavioral issues among youths. The tour was entitled 'It STILL Takes a Village' as it is centered on reminding community members that youths’ and children development is affected by diverse factors, including positive role models, empowerment, safety, and social connection, which need joint and collective responsibility. Therefore, 'It Still Takes a Village' is an intervention and prevention tour that aims to converge the efforts of parents, school administrators, artists, and other community members to prevent gun violence, drug abuse, related mental health problems, and behavioral challenges. 

On the other hand, the intervention tour is entitled Hip Hop Edition to listen to the youth about how and why they feel the way they do as it relates to music. Through this education, youths can hopefully understand the ideal appeal, attraction to music; the degree to which music may influence profanity and unruly behaviors depend on different factors.
