There isn’t a better feeling that a feeling of helping those in need and seemingly ATL rappers subscribed to that feeling.December is typically the month in which rapper’s give back the most, the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons bringing with them good deeds and acts of charity, and some of Atlanta’s biggest rap stars did just that at the 33rd Annual United Negro College Fund Atlanta Mayor’s Masked Ball on Saturday (Dec. 17).
Future’s donation is made in conjunction with his Freewishes Foundation, the organization recognizing the rapper and his contribution above. Tyrese and Usher were as well on hand, as seen below, representatives for Tyrese and Jeezy confirming that they as well made donations of $25,000 each.
