A Kenyan elite runner, Jacquline Nyetipei passes water to a dehydrated disabled Chinese runner who she saw suffering. This delayed her from winning. She came 2nd in the race not only losing the 1st position but also a US$10,000 cash prize. It's not all about winning, its the spirit of marathon! So proud to be Kenyan.....
Jamil Lawrance AKA Rise-Ascend, Rapper: "I've done a lot of, a significant amount of albums...and we developed a following."
And in 2009, attorney and part time rapper, Jamil Lawrance would embark on a path that would change him, and his music, forever.
........
'When I found out that the Chinese government actually does organ harvesting, they actually take the organs of living practitioners and they actually sell those organs on the black market, that's something that is appalling to the highest degree. Human beings are generally good people, and if you tell them that this type of thing is going on they will not stand for that, and no matter where this is taking place in the world they're going to stand up and say this has to end."
So Jamil got back in the studio. Adopting the name Rise-Ascend, he dedicated his music to raising awareness about the persecution, and spreading messages about Falun Gong.
He's been a hip-hop artist since high-school.
