After
the death of Rick James, a personal friend of Message Mon's, he
and his family band (Sibling Rivalry) held a tribute in Rick's name
to benefit families who have lost loved ones. Even though Rick himself
was convicted of violence against women, Message Mon believed that
Rick had changed his was and his spirit, and what could be a better
way for Rick to make amends, than to use his music and his legacy
to help fight violence. This event has only taken place once, but
there are plans to organize a "Rick James" tribute show
and use the money generated to fight violence. |
