All of our children are not able to sing, rap, dance, act, or play sports but each one of our children has something inside of them that they would love to share with the world. The Label Me King and Label Me Queen program will give our youth the opportunity to gain credibility in the eyes of the public through their words while providing a safe avenue for growth, development, opportunity, unity and positive products that they have contributed to creating for their own benefit.
