Eminem Donates Money

Eminem donates money to Hip Hop 4 Habitat project

Eminem made a donation today to Hip Hop 4 Habitat, a project where members of the hip-hop community will build a home for a family in need.

The hip-hop superstar contributed an undisclosed sum of money to help launch the program through his Marshall Mathers Foundation, it was announced on WJLB-FM (97.9) this morning during the 7 o'clock hour.

Hip Hop 4 Habitat is looking to raise $75,000 to build the 1,100-square-foot home near Mack Ave. and Lakepointe St. on Detroit's east side. It's tentatively set to be built over one week in October.

Following the completion of the home, Detroit rapper Trick Trick -- who said today he will help build the home -- will give a concert for volunteers.

"Hip Hop 4 Habitat is meant to be a positive project and a way for the hip-hop community to come together and support a family in need," said Alyce Hartman, founder of A Prophetic Generation, a non-profit organization that partnered with Habitat for Humanity Detroit for the project. "We're so thankful Trick and Eminem are leading this effort."http://feeds.comcast.rhapsody.com/calicasino/discography.rss
