Hip hop entrepreneur Master P has been in a charitable mood recently, donating money to impoverished city areas and upping his moral quota by forming a 'clean' record label, 'Take A Stand Records', that will only sign artists that pledge not to use explicit lyrics in their songs. He shows no sign of stopping either, having just announced that he will be piling cash into the P Miller Youth Centers (Percy Miller being his real name) that he has set up in some of the United States' poorest inner city areas.
According the rapper come music mogul, he expects the centers - expanding to New Orleans, Chicago, Detroit and LA - to include a gymnasium and library that can be used by kids in the community. P said: "Our goal is take kids off the streets, provide education, financial literacy, and hope for a real future. We want our kids to pick up a book or a ball and put down the guns. It is time to save our kids... let's give them a better vision".
The multi-million selling star is, of course, the ideal candidate to teach the virtues of good financial practice having not only built his empire from scratch, but also released a book, 'Guaranteed Success', that details exactly how he got there.
