Houston Hip-Hop Community Gives Back

In response to the displacement of a single mother and her young family due to a gas explosion in their home, the Houston Rap community began fundraising activities to help relocate them. The effort is being led by record a group of local music industry businesses, including Rap-A-Lot Records, Lil Troy’s Short Stop Records, Break Yo Sef Records, Captain Jack Productions as well as radio personality Walter D., 97.9 FM KBXX and Platinum City Night Club.The goal is to raise funds to replace the roof of the home and assist the family with temporary housing during the construction. According to reports, the explosion occurred in the gas dryer used in the home. Further, the entire family was at home at the time of the explosion, including small children. There were no physical injuries reported, but the psychological trauma is reportedly equivalent to the post traumatic anxieties experienced by soldiers on the battlefield and is amplified in small children. Break Yo Sef Records’ Vice President of Public Relations, JERRY DOBY kicked off the fundraising with a donation and a live on air appeal to other labels and entertainers to give back to the community that has granted them success. Tabulations for current contributions are ongoing and additional efforts to assist the family are to be announced.
