I will be sure to note it at every opportunity. Have you ever considered getting in touch with Chicago Public Schools to get your PSA in the schools? This would be an excellent time to get some feedback since school is out and it is, unfortunately, one of the most dangerous times for our children. Thank you for your efforts. Please keep it up.

Stay on the case.I would be honored to perform. We have the same problems here in Tulsa, and have designed our music to fight the problem. WE must be successful. We are losing our future.

I am the Executive producer of a short film called, 'Casualty'. A PSA about gun violence. The purpose of this film is to help raise awareness about gun violence and how it changes lives. Our aim is to reach out to people and help put an end to neighborhood shootings. Best of all, this short film hopes in reaching out to careless minds on how their actions not only affect innocent lives, but, how it can also affect theirs. This film will give the offender an insight of different ways a drive by shooting can change someone’s life, including the one pulling the trigger. I love 'Chicago Hip Hop Against Violence' and we were wondering if you can perform at the premier of 'Casualty'. The premier date will be on Sunday, July 18, 2010 at Our Lady of Mercy Church in Chicago, 4432 N Troy, Chicago, IL. Showing time is at 2:30 p.m. till ???

I am your comrade in the struggle. I'm a 62 year old Great Grandfather and I do "Conscious Hip Hop". I just released a new album, "A Work Of Art Too" and it is getting the attention of the "Hip Hop Witch Doctors". It's time for Snoop, 50, Jay Z and others to stop throwing rocks and trying to hide their hands. STAY ON THE CASE!!!

Powerful and honest. We need more of this in hip hop and I wish more of our artists, fans, producers and labels would take the risk to do it. I hope you don't mind if I add this video to my site as I want more people to be touched by this like I was. Keep doing what your doing and if you ever need any help know that my site and its members got you back. Its about time we stand united for something. This is as good a cause as any. Peace N Blessings Tyger

This can sometimes be overwhelming. Being a parent myself, I can't begin to imagine how much those feelings would be magnified with the loss of one of my own. Your support for this project has moved me in a way that I truly can't express in words. Using Schanna and the many other children we've lost to gun violence as a source of inspiration, I'm going to do all I can to aggressively spread this message in hopes that we can quickly put an end to this horrible epidemic. I thank you so much for reaching out and if you ever need me for anything involving this cause, I'm am truly at your service. Steve
