David Banner created the movement to harness the power of his fans and consumers, to help influence young listeners of the genre of Hip-Hop in a positive manner.
“I realize that although I am a work in progress, kids look up to people like me and others in the public eye. I want to help inspire and move others,†David Banner said.
