Kevin P. Chavous: College Readiness Is More Than Academics
While sports fans and pundits are having a great time riding and clowning on Denver Bronco Tim Tebow and his Christian beliefs, Green Bay Packers' cornerback Al Harris is taking his evangelism a step further – he's making a rap album. Harris connected with childhood friend Kevin Soto to create a rap album with a Christian influence. Harris says that he plans to drop the album later this year on his recently launched label, 31 Entertainment.
"We're trying to start a movement with this music," Harris told the Sun-Sentinel. "We're trying to say that you don't have to cuss, or have to sell drugs or whatever, to be cool. You can still be cool and fly, and love the Lord."
While Harris was making his way to the NFL, Soto was in and out of jail. He turned his life around and hope to send a message that there's another way to approach life:
"A lot of the album is about being a man," Soto said. "A lot of it is telling everyone what I've done, and this is what it can lead you to, and what [Harris] has done, and where that hard work can lead you to."
Check out video of Harris and Soto working on the new album:

Aug. 4th is President Obama's birthday and also the day Kenya votes to legalize ABORTION. Dr. Alveda King was born on Jan. 22, 1973 the day America legalize the killing of over 1,400 black babies every day. How can we as decent human beings allow this to happen?

This is a great message to put out and I applaud Al Harris and Kevin Soto for taking the time to try and make this community better in some way. You are going to be blessed abundantly. God is love and thank you for sharing your life experiences through rap with us! When can we expect it out and how can we get it?
