For the past several summers, 95.5 WPGC has adopted the neighborhood communities delivering such acts as Intimate Groove, Big Chewy-The Don, Optimystic Tribe and the newly female group Amari.  But, the acts aren’t the only things being transmitted to the community.  They have been throwing a totally free party – Alcohol Free – Drug Free – Violence Free, as well as Free advancement to the mind.

DJ Rico simply states it as “the perfect cost.”

“I’m not just doing this for WPGC.  I’m doing this for the aspect of my people.  When I say my people, I mean black, white, hispanic - I don’t care.  There’s a youth and there’s a cause.  The youth is the cause for my trying to keep the violence obtained to a low - a minimum.  I’m trying to help decrease on funeral cost.  The man is getting rich on funeral costs.  Every time you hear something about a black youth or black adult, it’s mostly about murder.  It’s about a care jacking.  It’s about somebody doing this - somebody doing that.  Something negative - never the positive.  The only positive notions you hear about it is if the government is involved.  I’m involved.  But I’m just an individual doing my part looking out for the youngsters and letting them know what it’s about in life.  Instead of giving them a bunch of BS, I tell the TS – True Story.  If you don’t give them the true story, they[re gonna go for the bullshit.  We’re just trying to keep everything on the positive note.”
