Jay-Z Tours the World to Fight Water Crisis
Thursday August 10, 2006
When I first learned of Jay-Z's alliance with the United Nations, I knew there had to be something more to it. Turns out Hov will be killing two birds with one stone; touring the world and helping curb world water crisis. Hov's journey, which kicks off in Poland September 9th, will be documented by MTV. The documentary, "Diary of Jay-Z: Water for Life," will air November 24th, 2006 on MTV. The Def Jam president met with MTV president Christina Norman and UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan yesterday (August 9th) to discuss the project.
"Every 15 seconds a child dies from not having clean water," said Jay-Z. "That's just staggering numbers and I figured that if the information was out and young people knew that these problems exist that they'd get involved." Real talk. It's refreshing to see a hip-hop icon intervene world issues in a manner that doesn't necessaily scream "business move." Oh, wait, it does.
