Yung Joc joined an initiative to make a better community in less privileged neighborhoods. From the press release...
The idea for Make It Rain in Da Hood spawned after Pezo In Da Cribb heard the lyrics of Andre 3000 from the song "Art of Storytelling Pt. 4" from DJ Drama's debut, Gangsta Grillz: The Album. Pezo In Da Cribb then decided to enlist some of the biggest names in hip-hop to help him turn his charitable dream into a reality.
Platinum recording artist Yung Joc joined Pezo In Da Cribb in a highly populated homeless area in downtown Atlanta during the holiday season where the duo freely handed out money to needy and unsuspecting citizens. Their generosity proved to be overwhelming, as the crowd roared with praise and cheers as they left.
Since its November inception, Make It Rain In Da Hood has made a tremendous buzz on the Internet. With over a thousand hits on the #1 video sharing website, You Tube and thousands of views per day from the Hot 107.9 website, Make It Rain In Da Hood is clearly an outreach program that people want to see become a national movement.

A racy ad featuring Sean Combs with scantily clad women, maybe to racy for cable television. According to Page Six, MTV reportedly rejected Sean John's controversial ad. From NY Post's Page Six..
"The spot shows Combs "going at it" with Jessica Gomez in a stairwell and a hotel room. But after MTV screened the ads, execs sent a list of edits Combs will need to make before censors will allow it to air. The offending footage includes Diddy "hiking up" Gomez's skirt, putting his hands under her dress, and a scene with another woman holding Gomez's breast and pulling down her underwear." Yung Joc's Hustlenomics: Yung Joc's new album Hustlenomics debuted at No. 3 last week, but now he has dropped to #11 with addition 28k sold this week (97k total).Labels: AD, MTV, Sean John, Yung Joc
