In related Hip Hop & Books news, rapper C-Murder and founder of Tru Publishing has endorsed The Hip Hop & Books movement.
President of the Conversations Book Club, Cyrus Webb said:
Having someone like Cee working with me on Hiphop and Books has added a new dimension to my original idea … I wanted to encourage lovers of the genre to not forget the importance of reading. No matter how I try there is no way that the way I articulate the message will reach everyone. With C-Murder saying it is cool to read and stay in school, it definitely makes a difference.”
Speaking of the President of Conversations Book Club, Cyrus Webb has announced that he will be will be going to college* for the first time ever later this year. More details will emerge later, so keep it locked to The Hip Hop Chronicle.
The movement gaining strength and we would like to take this time to congratulate Cyrus and all his staff for making The Hip Hop & Books rallies so successful and encouraging our youth into education.
