Young hip-hop artist raps for children and against AIDSBy Bob CoenNEW YORK, USA, 9 November 2005 – At first glance Shelvin Francis, MAGZ a.k.a King Fresh, appears to be just like any other up-and-coming young artist on the hip-hop music scene. But his latest song – ‘People Are You Listening?’ – has a serious message for the world’s children, which he delivers via the power of music, in an initiative with UNICEF.The song is a call to action for young people and against AIDS, and was created in support of UNICEF’s global UNITE FOR CHILDREN UNITE AGAINST AIDS campaign. “Hip-hop music is one of the best ways to spread the word, because kids all around the world are into hip-hop,” says MAGZ, a.k.a. King Fresh.The music video of ‘People Are You Listening?’ was one of the highlights of the campaign launch event at UN headquarters on 25 October. At the launch, MAGZ, a high school senior, met with UNICEF Executive Director Ann M. Veneman and with celebrities like UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Roger Moore. But it was meeting other young people from around the world who are affected by HIV/AIDS that moved him the most.
