The two rappers are raising money with the BMAC (Black Music Action Coalition), with Flav initially teaming up with them to launch a GoFundMe page to benefit displaced Black households in Pasadena and Altadena.
“There’s not enough being done for the Black families and the communities,” he wrote on social media announcing the partnership. “Come on, y’all. Let’s make L.A. strong, baby. Let’s help those in need.”
Now, they’ve visited Altadena alongside BMAC founder Prophet, to meet the families that lost their homes in the fires that took place in early January. A video shared on the organisation’s social media shows them hugging those impacted by the disaster and listening to their stories, including a young boy named Grayson, who tells the rappers that his drum set was destroyed in the fire.
“This was definitely needed,” Flav says in the clip. “I’m honoured to be here. My heart goes out to everybody that lost homes, pets, all of that stuff. Businesses and everything.”
Public Enemy then performed at BMAC’s ReStore & ReBuild fundraiser concert on Thursday (January 29), where they rapped ‘Fight the Power’ and presented Grayson and his mother with $5,000, per Variety.
