NEW YORK (On-Blast.com) After being deeply saddened by the Tsunami
tragedy teen rapper Jersey Son, 13 wrote the song "What is This World
Coming To?" He wanted to not only express his feelings about the
tragedy but also wanted to do something for the victims. Jersey Son was
eager to find a way to raise money for the victims. He asked fellow
label mate, 12-year old Ashlee Vaca to sing the hook on the song and
the rest is history. The
song drew immediate attention from producers and industry execs already
working with the rapper and the final product came out slamming. The
production team worked to fulfill the teens' wishes. "What is This
World Coming To?" was sent hot off the presses to a promotion team in
Germany who immediately asked to promote the song in Europe. Jersey Son
then asked his management team if the song could be distributed and a
portion of the proceeds sent to relief funds for the Tsunami victims. "It
was a shocking and noble move but then again, Jersey [Son] has a big
heart and it's not far from his character to ask for this to be done,"
his management company said. They are truly impressed with his motion
and fully support it. "It's obvious he had a plan and he's doing this
for the love of hip-hop and grief stemming from the situation." The
words to the song are sincere and the two seemed to put their hearts
into it. The song will be available for download on On-Blast.com
the first week of February 2005 for $1.99 and hopefully in stores
shortly after. Jersey Son and Ashlee will be performing the song in the
tri-state area over the next few weeks and hopefully spread nationally,
but in the meantime, the duo has made a pact to try and do what they
can for the victims. The tragedy was not expected and unavoidable and
all ages were affected by the reports that followed and wanted to do
something. Jersey Son is working with producer MARVELOUS and up
and coming producers 24 Diamondz in Miami. He has performed at the
Apollo and was named Most Talented Teen in New Jersey by Hal Jackson's
Uniting Talented Youth, Inc. Ashlee Vaca has been a winner on Star
Search, Showtime at the Apollo and numerous other talent contests
nationwide. Both are currently working on respective solo projects. The
pair is likely to create a major stir in the industry with their
exceptional talent and heart. This story is heart warming, knowing that
there are still some unselfish teens on this earth.
