Hip Hop mogul, Russell ‘Uncle Russ’ Simmons is more than just a staple in the music business. Know why? Because he’s giving back to the community.
In a candid conversation with Jacky Jasper, Russ opened-up his generous side to Hollywood’s Street King. “I spend more money than I make on my charities,” said Simmons. “And, the gifts I give to other charities.”
The man behind ‘Phat Farm’ clothing has generated about $2.5 million each year, over the past decade. Simmons speaks with Jacky about his trio of charities – Art for Life, Diamond Empowerment Fund, and Hip Hop Summit.
