OK this shit is like 1 month old, but shit check it:
I was cruising the net and searched for some info on J-Flexx, and look at what I found. First off some info:
A full day of seminars, the trade show and tours of public safety comm centers were on the agenda for the second day of NENA's conference.
The association also held is first annual 9-1-1 Heroes Awards ceremony, honoring four children who dialed 911 to obtain assistance for someone in trouble. The youths were selected by officials of state chapters, which in turn were randomly selected.
NENA made the awards during a 10 a.m. event attended by 150 members, plus some TV reporters. Each award winner and a family member received a free trip to the conference (either paid by the state chapter or a public safety vendor), and as part of their award received a Universal Studios pass and gifts.
And this is whut it has to do with J-Flexx:
Lastly, the 9-1-1 For Kids program introduced its newest promotion--a song about 911, written by rap songwriter-singer J-Flexx, who appeared on-stage to sing the song and get the entire awards crew involved. The entire group of children then posed for photos.
Interestingly, J-Flexx is a former "inmate" (aka producer and writer) of Death Row Records, and was involved in albums for Dr. Dre and Tupac Shakur that included obscene and violent references. After Tupac's 1996 shooting death in Las Vegas, J-Flexx was apparently transformed and has since been writing songs that focus on ending violence and promoting peace. His most notable piece has been "A Change to Come" which points to previous violence among the east-west rap record companies.
And last but not least a pic of Jay performing:
