Inkblot Kaleidoscope: October 2014

MC Lyte drops the official video for “Dear John” featuring Common and 10Beats in support of her #EducateOURMen scholarship initiative and forthcoming solo LP. The video follows the release of the track, which serves as the anthem for the campaign and MC Lyte’s Hip Hop Sisters Foundation. The foundation, which boasts the support of Russell Simmons, Dr. Benjamin Chavis, Jada Pinkett Smith and Faith Evans, plans to present “dozens of scholarships” to help send men to HBCU’s. The video is a reflection of those efforts that features a montage of moving images and striking photographs that champion leadership, achievement and fatherhood amongst men of color. Check the footage below to watch the official video for “Dear John.” Learn more about the #EducateOURMen initiative via hiphopsisters.org. Follow the #EducateOURMen hashtag via Twitter.
