T.I. continues his pre-Christmas tradition of philanthropy work in and around Atlanta for area children.
The Grand Hustle boss and his Harris Community Works foundation took 50 boys from the Next Level Boys Academy on a $200 shopping spree at the popular urban clothing store, DTLR. Clifford “Tip” Harris Jr., also donated a coat to each teen from his AKOO Clothing line in time for Christmas, according to
The Shade Room.
On the Next Level Boys Academy’s Instagram page, the school conveyed its astonishment with how much Tip and HCW have continuously contributed to the success of its organization, calling it “beyond amazing.”
21 Savage is well-documented for the strategy employed in his growth to date. For most of the inception of his career, the Atlanta rapper remained unsigned, growing to immeasurable heights without the backing of a major label. Even when he did decide to sign with Epic Records, beginning with his
ISSA debut of 2017, the Slaughter Gang honcho leveraged his success in a deal that allows him to retain ownership over his masters.
While the ownership of masters is a long-standing conversation in Hip-Hop that is only just now being considered as a standard, Savage’s move was well ahead of its time among his class of contemporaries, but it almost ran away from him early on.
