ROLE MODEL RAPPER BERG BEAUGE (KARL ANTHONY ROSIER) ON CP24 TONITE LIVE!!

A rapper who turned his life around and recorded a PSA for Toronto Police during the TAVIS session at Z103.5FM yesterday. POSITIVE!!! Stay tuned to him on CP24 Toronto's breaking news channel tonight. A compelling story.

"Hey Kemi, I have noticed the initiative you have taken with the Tavis program. I would also like to give back to the community. A year ago I was released from the penetentiary after 25 months of incarceration. During my time there I completed my high school and worked on a Business Diploma through correspondence at Northern College. When I was released I was placed in a shelter at Queen and Sherbourne even though I was convicted of drug trafficking. I never let that bother me. I searched for jobs relentlessly and found one at a call center. I worked there until last week. I was just hired for a tech support position for $35,500 a year plus benefits. I guess I'm saying anything is possible. My music is my life and now I can invest in myself. More importantly I will be having my son live with me. I feel that if I can change so can others who really want to change."

Thank you for your time Kemi."

Regards
Berg

CRIME VICTIM ADVOCATE KEMI OMOLOLU-OLUNLOYO AND EDITOR OF HIPHOSSIP MUSIC BLOG TEAM UP TORONTO RAPPERS TO RECORD PSA'S FOR TORONTO POLICE'S TAVIS SAFE NEIGHBORHOODS INITIATIVE

Crime victim advocate, Publicist and Music Journalist Kemi Omololu-Olunloyo has paired up local rappers with the Toronto police to record public service announcements for the ongoing TAVIS initiative. She has been hosting free press conferences for families of crime victims to make appeals to the public for tips on their homicide cases and has always been a strong supporter of Toronto Crime Stoppers and "Prevention" of crime in youth.

The Toronto Anti－Violence Intervention Strategy is a Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services provincially funded initiative, dedicated to creating and maintaining sustainable, safe neighbourhoods. TAVIS initiatives are operating in all of the 17 Toronto police Divisions and are supported by every unit in the Service.

The key message for this TAVIS PSA is that TAVIS officers are there to help the community, not harass them. TAVIS officers listen and talk with community members and the goal is to work together and basically the two parts to TAVIS is community building and enforcement.

Kemi whose music and PR blog HipHossip.com and Fanada.ca features You Tube videos of appeals from crime victims teamed up five local Toronto rappers from all corners of the city, ethnic groups and nationalities for this project. The Rappers Nes (Noel Esso), Berg Bauge (Tony Rosier), Gilly Gadan (Gilliano Joseph), Kadar Star (Kadar Hall) and Jay Stacks.

Any media wishing to interview this team of talented musicians on why they chose to be part of this initiative, talk about their own past run-ins with the law and how they are planning to change other lives and motivate youth in the community and getting the public to support TAVIS should contact me on an interview location.

HipHossip has just teamed up in a brand partnership with US network Black Entertainment television (BET) on a new hip-hop show "The Deal." As a Canadian partner and Correspondent, we hope to expose the world to our breed of positive rappers in the community.
