For the third year in a row, 21 Savage is the back-to-school plug in his hometown of Atlanta. In partnership with Momma Flystyle, his Leading By Example foundation is presenting the Issa Back To School Drive on August 4-5.
“Giving back to where I grew up means a lot to me. These kids need it, and I use to be one of those kids,” the rapper recently told Billboard.
The event will provide free hairstyles for girls, haircuts for boys, free school uniforms, supplies and — of course — fun.
“Being able to see someone from where u from make it and come back and genuine give back will motivate these kids to do the same for their kids and the community,” he explains.
The 25-year-old has the philanthropist bug; just last week he launched a one-day initiative where he donated $10,000 to Atlanta’s Continental Colony Elementary School to help fund their anti-bullying campaign. Back in March, he appeared on Ellen to launch his 21 Savage Bank Account Campaign, which awarded scholarships to 21 students.

That event is just going to end up with drops out hanging out there starting fights.
I respect the philanthropy even though I don’t respect the talent of the mc.
Good for you 21 I wish more young men and women would take your lead, you don’t have to be rich to give back to your community either pick up trash, play with the neighborhood kids be a big brother big sister just give back..KARMA
Never thought he was smart I stand corrected, respect To the G.
