The Game is changing the game of Hip Hop.  With a vivid reality check, he has no problem with declaring what’s really important – his family and his fans – and what’s not important – chains, bottles and being number one.  On his latest release RED (short for redemption) he works with Pharrell with a little help from Dr. Dre to make his declaration of being true to himself!

Baltimore’s history as one of the southernmost free cities for African Americans during the era of abolition has resulted in an incredible wealth and depth of black history, culture and heritage.

Baltimore, you have done it again. Your outpouring of support was awesome. Thanks to you we were able to donate truckloads of toys to the U.S. Marines “Toys For Tots” campaign. We were out and about in the community at Mondawmin Mall as well as the WalMarts in Owings Mills, Arundel Mills and Catonsville.  Thank you for making a child’s holiday season memorable.
