R Kelly Writes Song For VA Tech Tragedy

Posted by Brandon

Roughly 2 weeks after a gunman kills 32 students at Virginia Tech University (here) R Kelly announces that he has written a song “Rise Up” to aid in the healing process. The song will be released digitally on May 15th and 100 percent of the net proceeds will go to the Hokie Spirit Memorial Fund.

A sample lyric from the song: “Rise up, when you feel you can’t go on, rise up, and all of your hope is gone, rise up, when you’re weak and you can’t be strong.”

It’s good to see that some positive steps are being made by some celebrities to aid in the recovery process for these students and families.

    Glad to see someone make a move while the topic is still relevant. Usually these songs come out six months later after trying to do a collaboration with six people.

    Nie to see him step out of the closet, to record this track :)
