On Thursday, March 25th, 2010, Mickey "Memphitz" Wright Jr., host of BET's The Deal Television Show and Grammy Nominated Super Producer, Christopher "Drumma Boy" Gholson were honored with the key to the city of Memphis. Mayor A.C. Wharton showed recognition for their humanitarian acts established with Heal the Hood and other community organizations such as skid-e-kids.com by naming them Ambassadors of the city. A press conference was held at Alton Elementary to re-introduce these two Memphians that have been holding down a national spotlight for the city and selflessly giving back whenever possible. Memphitz, Drumma Boy, Kristyle, HTH members, and Dr. Kenneth T. Whalum all spoke on the panel for the students at Alton and Southside Middle aimed at telling the youth how to stay positive and follow their dreams. Speaking to students about violence and crime in our communities and how Hip Hop can be used to inspire positive changes is just one of the many efforts Drumma Boy and MempHitz have participated in to give back to the youth and our community. .jpg)
