21 Savage To Host His Annual Issa Back to School Drive In Atlanta This Weekend

Source: sam brown / power 21 Savage  is continuing his streak of helping out the kiddos by hosting his annual Issa Back to School Drive. Now in its third year, the back-to-school initiative will provide supplies for each students’ success, also offering free hair styling for young girls, cuts for young boys, and school uniforms all around. The two-day event is slated to take place this upcoming weekend, on August 4th and 5th, in the rapper’s city of Atlanta. This year’s event is in collaboration with the launch of 21 Savage’s Bank Account Campaign (also referred to as the Lead by Example Foundation) which aims to teach children the importance of financial literacy. “Giving back to where I grew up means a lot to me,” 21 told  Billboard  when speaking about the special event. “These kids need it and I use to be one of those kids. Being able to see someone from where u from make it and come back and genuine give back will motivate these kids to do the same for their kids and the community.” This event most definitely isn’t the only time you can find the rapper giving back to his community. Just last week, Mr. Savage donated $10,000 to a Georgia elementary school as a part of his Zone 6 Day initiative, to help fund their anti-bullying campaign.

Jennifer Lopez’s ‘On The Floor’ Video Creates ‘Dance Buzz’

Clip premieres Thursday night (March 3) during ‘American Idol.’ By Jocelyn Vena Jennifer Lopez on the set of her video for “On The Floor” Photo: MTV News Jennifer Lopez plays a feisty club diva in her video for “On the Floor,” set to make its debut Thursday night (March 3) during “American Idol.” The song, a club banger produced by RedOne, is a melting pot of house music and global music, and the video is a dark, sexy look at club culture. “I play one character where she kind of runs this party, acts like she’s kind of bored with it, but at the same time is really loving it and loves this underground party dance culture,” Lopez told MTV News on the set. “So I got to be wild and crazy, and at the same time I got to be sexy and sweet too.” In the video, J.Lo wears a big beehive bun, gold gladiator heels and a gold gown with Gaga-esque detailing in its high collar and leaves. It also stars RedOne and Pitbull, who raps on the track. The other men who worked with J.Lo on the video, director Taj and choreographer Frank Gatson Jr., wanted it to reflect Lopez’s background as a dancer. “Originality, being you. This song is about being who you want,” Taj explained. “It’s about letting loose. There’s no explanation. This is this underground video, this underground party.” Gatson added that the video will give fans and wallflowers an inside peek at the best dance party in town. “I kind of get the feeling that she wants us to be in the club after 2 a.m. in L.A.,” he explained. “That’s so amazing. [It’s like] everybody had some watermelon and the watermelon made them high, it gave them a little buzz — but a good buzz, a real magical buzz, a dance buzz, a buzz that makes you feel like fried chicken, so she just wants everybody to have a good old time.” J.Lo hasn’t been shy about her love for the track. She said recording it was an homage to her days as a professional dancer. “The minute RedOne played it for me, I made him play it 20 times in a row, and I just sat there at the board and I kept listening to it and listening to it,” Lopez said . “Because I really feel like, emotionally, I connected to it, but also because of how much I love to dance and how much that’s always been such a big part of who I am since I started. Since I was a little girl, I just totally connected with the idea of getting out there.” Will you be tuning into “American Idol” to catch J.Lo’s new video? Tell us below.
