Rappers Jadakiss and Styles P are using their influence to raise health awareness in their communities. ;
The MCs, who are a part of the hip hop group The Lox, created a chain of juice bars called ;Juices For Life in 2011 after noticing a lack of healthy resources growing up in Yonkers, New York. ;
“You’re going to get out what you put into your body,” Jadakiss says in a video interview with Elite Daily. “We didn’t know. All we knew was run to the fast food spots or run to get big bags of candy. It’s a bunch of garbage.”
Each juice bar offers a vast selection of drinks to help alleviate certain body aliments including allergies, arthritis, acne and bronchitis to name a few. The stores are now located in three separate locations in New York. The duo’s involvement in the juice bars has caught the attention of Jeffrey Brown, the CEO of ;Brown’s SuperStores, a chain of nutritional grocery stores.
“They’re deciding to use their success to make a difference for people,” Brown says in the clip above. “I think if we all did that, we’d fix a lot of our country’s problems.”
