Here you get to see the fruits of our collaborative effort manifest itself in the form of $10,000 worth of musical production equipment, which Joey Bada$$ donates to his high school for a newly created music production program. This video is just a piece to our\u00a0philanthropic project that consisted of a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.akomplice-clothing.com\/blog\/uncategorized\/j-dilla-%E2%80%A2-joey-bada-%E2%80%A2-akomplice\/\">capsule collection<\/a> and an unreleased track dubbed &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/truthstudios\/joey-bada-two-lips-prod-j\">Two Lips<\/a>&#8220;. 100% of the profits from the project were to be donated to youth music programs in Joey and Dilla&#8217;s respective hometowns, Brooklyn and Detroit. In the below video, we see the Joey and his Pro Era crew return to a hero&#8217;s welcome at The Edward R. Murrow High School, which includes a visit to the hallowed ground on which <a href=\"http:\/\/theproera.com\" target=\"_blank\">Pro Era<\/a> was founded. Watch as Joey walks the halls and reminisces on his high school years. In honor of J Dilla&#8217;s legacy, we really wanted to give kids a chance to learn how to make the type of music that J Dilla created. This project was directly in line with our mission statement,\u00a0<em>Evolution through Innovation<\/em>. As you know our dedication to\u00a0hip-hop runs deep, so it was truly a dream to\u00a0bridge together two era&#8217;s of hip-hop. In the video, we see that the donation will be put to good use. Detroit will be next to receive their donation. Also, be on the lookout for Joey Bada$$&#8217;s upcoming album <em>B4.DA.$$<\/em>, set to drop January 20th, 2015.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">To see photos of Joey Badass going back to school click <a href=\"http:\/\/www.akomplice-clothing.com\/blog\/joey-bada-x-j-dilla-x-akomplice-give-back-pt-1\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Music By @PowersPleasant and Video by @DeeKnows_<br \/>\nPhotographer: Jessica Lehrman<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>@joeybadass_\u00a0@JDilla_Fndn\u00a0@PowersPleasant\u00a0@DeeKnows\u00a0@jessierocks\u00a0@proera @kirkknight\u00a0 In the spirit of Thanksgiving,\u00a0we wanted to share this video from our project with Joey Badas$$ and The J Dilla Foundation.
