The Vice Chairman further continued in praise of the rapper and entrepreneur, “Dr. Dre has stepped up and partnered with the school district to make this vision a reality. A true act of giving back to the community in a way that will directly impact the ever-resilient efforts of our students to rise-up and succeed. A true act of leading the way and standing as an example to others of how never to forget where you came from.”

Great to see more artists, particularly rappers, coming out in support of various causes giving back to the communities.
Bravo Dr. Dre!
