Rising Rap Star Iviona Hatch Daughter Of Famed Rapper Lil' Boosie Helps Spread Message Of ...

ATLANTA, GEORGIA (MMD Newswire) July 26, 2011 – - Iviona Hatch daughter of rap star Lil’ Boosie pledged her participation and support of U Hatin?® University, a national community outreach program that promotes positivity and the message of love. The name hinges on the QUESTION mark? This awareness initiative forces people to asked themselves: Am I hating? This includes things like general negativity, jealousy, and thinking you’re superior to someone because they are different. The organizations philosophy is that the secret to success in life is lifting people up.

Nine-year-old Iviona Hatch, daughter of Lil’ Boosie AKA Torence Hatch said she heard about the campaign through her father and was inspired to share its positive message with her peers. “I believe in U Hatin?® because it teaches people to stop and think about what they are doing and saying, this is opposed to pulling people down,” Iviona Hatch said.

“Hate is an epidemic and has caused more devastation than heart disease, cancer, and aids combined,” said U Hatin?® Chairman Lance Silver. “This campaign disseminates its message in schools and through youth programs of all types. Music and entertainment have also been an effective way for millions of people to hear the message which is why we are so thrilled to have Iviona on board as her career begins to soar,” he added.

Silver founded the organization after being disheartened by the day in and day out reports of violence on the television and print media. He welcomed the Hatch family after seeing just how serious they are about spreading a positive message to the world. “Iviona’s songs are about having a high self-esteem, getting a good education, listening to your parents and believing in your dreams. She does all of this through entertaining rhymes and story telling with the same swag as her daddy,” Silver said adding, “Some of her song titles are Education, Crazy World, Daughter of a King and Queen and So Hot. Daughter of a King and Queen http://listn.to/IvionaHatch has been released nationally and several of the other songs are in various stages of production. So Hot, produced by Kidd on the Track out of New Orleans, is her break-through single and will hit national radio stations in the coming weeks.

Other celebrities that support the U Hatin?® Campaign include: the teen guru and author of Chicken Soup for the African American Women’s Soul, Lisa Nichols, DJ Drama, DJ Greg Street, BG, Yo Gotti and Mystikal. Silver said, “Everyone agrees with one thing: ” Get your love on! ” These various entertainers in the rap industry all support UHU’s Truth Campaign. This is where the messages in these rap songs are compared to the advice that artist’s give their own children. This way the kids on the streets can make a decision which message they want to follow. UHU does this while providing a platform for artist to get exposure through positive lyrics. Change this World Together featuring the recent UMA winner Mr R&B, Sir Wine and Durand is poised to be today’s version of We are the World. Church choir’s, high schools, and middle schools all participate in singing this chorus. Radio stations are running the song as a PSA,” Silver added.

We never make the same mistakes; we do the opposite campaign to bury the hate; divided we all fall; together we stand tall; I’m talking to all ya’ll; Change This World Together!
