BaRock Star produced by the Blackout Movement is the most important record I’ve ever done because with my music I stress the importance of hope and determination in overcoming life challenges. People with similar backgrounds who have defied similar odds like myself can be successful.  I think Barack Obama defied a lot of odds and turned negative aspects of his life into hope for every single person, whether black or white, struggling to progress in America.  I will continue to release music that speaks to the people of our beautiful country as long as there’s a platform to have my voice heard.  Please vote for Barack Obama on November 4th because Barack Obama will provide us with the change we need. - Mims

Corey Davis, the son-in-law of gangster rapper Ice-T wants to help you.

As one-half of the group Blak Circle, Davis has been a supporter of the Hiphop and Books literacy project but he’s now a representative with Prepaid Legal Services.

“No matter who you are, everyone needs affordable legal advice and business opportunities that fit their lifestyle,” he says. “That is what Prepaid Legal Services has provided me, and I am glad to do the same for others.”

Davis, who has been a supporter of The Hip Hop & Books Movement since the beginning, wants to set an example

“We are all so busy, it’s easy to forget the importance of feeding ourselves mentally with a book,” says Davis. “But I have to do it. It’s not about if, it’s about how much. I want to make sure my daughter knows the importance of reading as well. Music is good, but there is nothing like feeding your mind with knowledge.”
