Big Sean is using his celebrity to make a difference.
We heard that rapper Big Sean recently hooked up with SU alum and NBA Hall of Fame player Dave Bing to inspire young black men in Detroit. The Sean Anderson Foundation and Bing partnered with the Ford Motor Company for this “Men of Courage” initiative.
Big Sean was the headliner for this year’s Juice Jam Festival at Syracuse University.
Syracuse’s favorite Hip Hop/Folk singing/guitar playing/Human Beat Box,aka Joe Driscoll, closed out the Express Mart Stage for the Taste of Syracuse last night. His show caught the attention of stalwart driscollites, innocent by-standers, TV and radio personalities, as well as local musicians. The well-traveled Driscoll, who was bred in the Westcott Nation, recently played gigs in California.
While on stage Driscoll sported a Wes Johnson (Lakers) jersey. This guy always represents.
While in town Driscoll will also play shows at the Westcott Theater and Funk-n-Waffles (downtown).
