There is a scene from the movie “White Men Can’t Jump” where Wesley Snipes (feeling really good after winning a big basketball tournament) gives a pan handler a $20 bill.  Woody Harrelson thinks he’s crazy, but his response is:

“If I don’t take care of my brothers who will?”
- Wesley Snipes, in “White Men Can’t Jump”

Combining that quote with Season 5 of THE WIRE’s ‘homeless dilemma’ makes me think about giving back to the less fortunate.  Although we in the grind right now and all about increasing our exposure on a daily basis, we have two shows coming this week that are charity events… we’re absolutely thrilled to be a part of both.

This Saturday, TRUE 2 LIFE MUSIC will be performing @ Trinity College in Hartford, CT.  We will be opening for DJ UNK.. doors open @ 9:00pm.  It’s basically gonna be a concert/party so you already know ya boys are gonna rock out.  Proceeds go to the Hartford Hospital Patient Navigation Program to benefit uninsured patients fighting Cancer.

This Sunday, TRUE 2 LIFE MUSIC will be performing @ The Raphael Hernandez School of the Performing Arts in NYC.  It will be apart of the Town Hall portion of the HHEAL FEST.  This event is geared to inspire and enlighten the youth offering different ways where hip hop can be used to educate.  For more information, go to: http://hiphopassociation.org/hheal/

It’s important to come out and support these two events… and come thru to chop it up wit us.

TRUE 2 LIFE MUSIC… Doin’ it for the community since 2001.
