Re:                   Challenge Progress

As was stated in my last blog post concerning the Challenge (posted on Saturday, 1^st November, 2014), I am ‘translating’ the words of the Shaker dance song “Simple Gifts” into a format that befits someone living and actively participating in hip hop culture. To do this, I am using such resources as <http://onlineslangdictionary.com/> and <http://www.ebonics-translator.com/> that help with the conversion of certain words and structures into hip hop slang. As of today, I have ‘translated’ the chorus of the song and will have the verses translated by the end of the month.

I appreciate your attention in this matter, and thank you for your patience in waiting for the completed challenge.
