MBK/J. Records recording artist Elle Varner releases her debut video for her first single, “Only Wanna Give It To You,” featuring Roc Nation signee, J. Cole.

Businessman Jay-Z hosted The Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation’s Carnival: Making The Ordinary Extraordinary, a charity event created to help raise money in hopes of providing financial assistance to teens experiencing socio-economic hardships, with hopes of seeking a higher education at a private or public college.
The star-supported Chrysler-sponsored event (held at NYC’s Hudson River Park’s Pier 54) reeled in celebrities like Sylvia Rhone, ?uestlove, Alex Rodriguez, CC Sabathia, Susan Taylor, Estelle, Kevin Liles, Andre Harrell, Michael Eric Dyson, Steve Stoute and Angie Martinez. After a night of rides, dart-throwing, fun & games and more, The Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation raised $1,033,000!
If you wanted to attend the event, it would cost you $1,000. Yes, the price was definitely on the steep end, but the pro is that each ticket will one day pay for a child or teen’s tuition and books. Kudos to Mr. Carter for successfully raising a milli!
The Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation was conceived of in 2002 and officially established as a 501(c)3 public charity in 2003 by Shawn & his mother, Gloria Carter. Continue
