The CEO of Top Dawg Entertainment, Anthony "Top Dawg" Tiffith is sending 1,000 kids from three Watts-area housing projects to see "Black Panther" for free on its opening weekend.
Top Dawg who is from the West Coast and has his own humble beginnings wanted kids from the Watts area -- Nickerson Gardens, Jordan Downs, and Imperial Courts Projects to be able to see the movie, which is being hailed for its representation of Blacks in different roles. Top teamed up with Interscope Records to buy out 5 shows in 3 different theaters.
The kids will be transported to the theaters with buses that were donated by the L.A. Unified School District. All kids have to do to be able to access this opportunity is to show up to the housing authority at entire of the houses to be taken to see the film.
The label which has its fruition in the West Coast is home to ScHoolboy Q, SZA, Jay Rock, Ab-Soul, and Kendrick Lamar. Kendrick and the label worked closely with Ryan Coogler, the director of the film, to create the soundtrack to Marvel's Black Panther. The album which was released on February 9th, is scheduled to top the charts this week and it will shortly be pressed to vinyl for fans.
