Rick Ross & Nick Cannon Set Up Events For At-Risk Youth
Thursday - August 9, 2007

Def Jam rapper Rick Ross and actor/artist Nick Cannon both made contributions to their communities this week to inspire and uplift the youth.

According to CBS reports, Ross teamed up with Magic Johnson Burger King Restaurants to present the "1st Annual Rick Ross Be Out Day" yesterday (August 8), at Miami's Carol City Senior High.

Ross, who grew up in Carol City, provided the students with school supplies and encouraged kids to stay in school.

"This is a day for kids," Ross said. "I want to give back to my city, it's all about the kids, they need to know that if they stay in school, work hard and stay focused, they can be anything they want to be, and they will succeed."

Yesterday (August 8), Nick Cannon's also gave back to the community by teaming his campaign, "Stop Hating," aimed at at-risk youth, with technology non-profit 1600 Avenue. The partnership will support this year's "Hip Hop Leaders Conference."

The "Hip Hop Leaders Conference," which will be held at California's UCLA campus, uses hip-hop to motivate at risk teens to pursue a college education and explore technology careers.

"There are a lot of synergies between "Stop Hating" and "Hip Hop Leaders," Cannonvai a statement. "We are working together because both organizations are committed to uplifting youth, and bringing the global hip hop community together."

The conference, which started yesterday (August 9) and wraps up on Monday (August 12), will give over 100 at risk youth the chance to interact with artists, producers, DJs, radio personalities, video directors, business managers, marketing/A&R reps and lawyers, exposing them to the inside of the music industry and the technology that drives it.
