Rappers Jim Jones and Juelz Santana are among the artists who will join the Entertainers for Education Alliance (EEA), New York radio station Hot 97 and Catapult Online to present the 2nd Annual Stay In School Concert Wednesday on October 17 in New York.

"Our goal with this event is to show our children through entertainment, education is important," said EEA Executive Director, Tonya Lewis. "Our concert/rally is gearing up to be a huge event, as you can see from the line-up and we're expecting to announce many more mega-stars who are putting their voices behind education."

The EEA is a nonprofit organization established to provide at-risk youth with positive alternatives to negative behaviors through education.

The concert, which will be hosted by Hot 97/MTV personality DJ Cipha Sounds, will stress the importance of education staying school to receive a diploma.

"The EEA is tackling one of our city's most significant crisis, the drop out rate," says NYC City Council Member and Chairman for Education Robert Jackson.
