It's not every day we read about celebrities giving back to the community. DJ Khaled, who currently has the most popular radio show in Miami (WEDR/99 Jamz), who's last album debuted at #1 on the Billboard Independent Chart, recently visited inner city neighborhoods in Miami, Florida to encourage local aspiring aritsts to use their entrpeanuarial skills in business, This is something that rarely makes the headlines of mainstream media.

It would be hard to accuse DJ Khaled of forgetting his roots, considering his career as a DJ was launched with the help of underground radio in Miami. Recently he stopped by Miami based reb-radio station, "IslandFlavaFM.com" , a Local Underground online music website based in the heart of Dade County, Florida was who's owners were surprised to see DJ Khaled's signature Rolls Royce Phantom pull up to their front door. DJ Khaled stayed around for interviews and questions from local aspiring independent artists.

I think this depends on the criteria and the sites rules and Standards. Why NP does have Rules and Tools.

In IslandFlava's defense, I considered the article to be news. Though the when and why we not as thoroughly reported as could be, I was researching Khaled's radio show, found this and now I am a step closer to finding out where he is @. Giid job IslandFlava.

There are several errors in this article/press release that should have been addressed before sending to print.

should say:

and whose last album debuted at #1 on Billboard's Independent Chart, recently visited inner-city neighborhoods in Miami, Florida to encourage local aspiring artists to use their entrepreneurial skills in business. This is something that rarely makes mainstream media headlines.

I'm not even going to get into the second paragraph. Get it together!
