It has become an epidemic. Our campaign spreads awareness about the importance of being reading, being literate, attending and finishing high school. Also about the benefits of seekinggreater levels of academic success by attending college. We reinforce these messages through a series of initiatives involving the hip-hop community.

DJ Jelly (Atlanta), DJ Malone (Chicago), DJ Mastermynd (Florida), DJ Big Lou (Brooklyn, NY) and LEGENDARY DJ RON G are the hosts of the project which will be distributed during outdoor events, concerts and during in-school discussions.Proceeds from the music project will benefit college bound students in need of scholarships.
