I had the opportunity to sit down with the founders LaToya “Leigh” Wise of “Live and Die for Hip Hop Black Out Gala to celebrate the life and legacy of Chris Kelly, half of the rap duo Kriss Kross. I got a chance to sit down with Donna Pratte Chris Kelly’s mother as she talks about charity and her son’s legacy.
Reginae Carter is one of the hostesses for the charity event. Check out what she had to say about being influenced by Atlanta’s HIP HOP SCENE and her thoughts about old school HIP HOP!
