“I am a hustla, baby; I’ll sell water to a well…”

Hov el Presidente recently teamed up with UN Secretary, Kofi Annan, to get his humanitarian hustle on. Straight outta AHH:

The effort is part of MTV’s ongoing mission to educate and empower young people about global issues as well as get them involved.

Jay-Z’s experiences as he witnesses the human impact of the water crisis will be documented by the network. Information on the documentary and companion initiatives will also be announced.

According to recently released statistics, more than one billion people across the globe lack access to safe drinking water and water-related diseases are the leading cause of death in the world and is responsible for 80% of all sickness in the world.

It’s always a good look when hip-hop heads can actually take a break from San Tropez island romps to assist less privileged folks. Cam loses again.

    Hmm…that makes sense. But, I doubt it, seeing as he was spinning his rhyme structure off the preceeding bar, “I’ll sell fire in hell.”

    But, what do I know…
