50 CENT - ONE LIKE = ONE MEAL (VIDEO PSA)

Small PSA from 50 Cent as he continues his quest to feed hungry children.  For every "Like" for his Street King Facebook page he'll feed a hungry child.  If it reaches 1 million likes he'll look to match that million with another million meals for the hungry.  I applaud his efforts.  So go ahead and hit that "Like" that button.

T.I.T.S. NEW RELEASES

New designs as well as the T.I.T.S. for TITS tees (that dropped on Saturday to kick off Breast Cancer month) which all proceeds from these tees go to finding a cure for breast cancer.  Of course if you need more info simply go to the website.

T.I.T.S. for TITS CAMPAIGN (FIGHT FOR A CURE)

Some nice fashion to purchase with net profits going to benefit those who have been affected by breast cancer.  If you know someone that has encourage them to share their story here.  T.I.T.S. is looking to double the money raised last year to distribute to those who share these stories.  If you want to help raise money make sure to head over to the site and buy some gear.

Finally I have up the photos I took at the "For My City" Charity Concert that went down two weeks ago in Watts.  Stix had the idea to get some local talent to come out and perform for the kids and get them some free stuff before they went back to school.  With clothes, basketballs, and backpacks from folks like Matt Barnes, Tyrese and other charities.  The kids had a Game Lounge with PS3, XBox and a Wii.  Performances by Stix, TreeHouseClub, SOX Family, Halla, The Rej3ctz, Rosevelt and many more kept the energy going onstage and the children and their families enjoyed every minute of it.  It was good to be a part of that event and give back to the community, especially underprivileged children.  Expect to see more such outreach from Stix and I.  If you want to see all the photos just go here.

A charity event I'm proud to say I'm part of featuring some of LA's brightest talent: STIX, UNI, Strong Arm Steady, TreeHouseClub, SOX Family (Skeme, Cire & Lite) and more.  Matt Barnes has donated among other names and organizations.  Come out and watch the show and bring canned goods or old clothes that we can give to homeless shelters and group homes in the Watts community.  Spread the word, we greatly appreciate it.  Other special surprise guests will be in attendance.
