New York Recording Artist Illy Rap Raises Awareness and Money for the
Alzheimer's Association
Hip Hop Press (press release) - Oct 1, 2009
KINGSTON, NY— Music talent Illy Rap is raising awareness and donating 50% of the
proceeds from his new single “Family Glue” to the Alzheimer’s Association. Jarel
Worthington a.k.a. Illy Rap has had a personal experience with the devastation that
Alzheimer’s disease causes. In 2007, his grandmother’s battle with Alzheimer’s came to
an end when the disease took her life. ”Family Glue” is written about and dedicated in
the memory of his grandmother. Illy Rap says, “I think it is important to engage in this
way through my music efforts. I feel if there will be any medical breakthroughs, there
has to be broad public support and mainstream recognition.”
The growing in popularity Illy Rap released his song “Family Glue” on the internet via
iTunes, Amazon, Rhapsody, Napster, & eMusic. It is already well known, through
research, that poetry and music play a role in helping Alzheimer’s patients with their
memory. This is another creative way that Illy Rap’s poetry-in-motion is being used to
help eliminate Alzheimer’s disease.
Illy Rap has made his way into the music business by starting his own record label in
2005, IllyRap Recordings. Since then, his music has been recognized by New York City
and local radio, he mentors youths and organizes music workshops at community
centers, and he has worked with A-list celebrities and many other remarkable talents.
In only a few years the label has solidified itself as a major force to be reckoned with in
the Record Biz. Through his passion for music, he has attained friends and colleagues
in Music and Show Business. Illy Rap continues to make new music on a day to day
basis, he also attends local music showcases and makes special guest appearances at
red carpet events.
