The charitable polish rap project “HIT Rappers!,” Helping is Trendy Rappers by the Pomaganie Jest Trendy Foundation, once again gains international recognition thanks to its collaboration with legendary music producer Dr. Dre and his label “Aftermath.” The aim of the project is to promote donating 1.5% of income tax to the Pomaganie Jest Trendy Foundation, founded by rapper Krzysztof Gorzkiewicz, also known as Gorzki. To support the foundation, it is enough to enter the KRS number 0000608718 when filing your annual tax return.

Focus and Dr. Dre on the Music
The music for the HIT Rappers! project was created by Focus – a multiple Grammy Award-winning producer behind major hits by artists such as Jennifer Lopez, Beyoncé, The Game, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, Kendrick Lamar, and many others. Focus, who works with Dr. Dre’s label “Aftermath” on a daily basis, prepared a unique beat, while Dr. Dre himself decided to take part in the project by arranging the track.
Dr. Dre’s interest in the project stems from the fact that his son, Curtis Young, performed in its first edition. Thanks to this involvement, the project gains a unique character and a strong international dimension.

The competition will take place at Mała Plaża in Szałe, by Lake Pokrzywnickie (near Kalisz). In previous editions, young rappers had the opportunity to record a track and music video alongside artists such as PIH, Dudek P56, Liroy, RySoValid (son of Fat Joe), AfuRa, and others.
The project will also include the winner of another competition organized by the renowned “Mała Plaża,” namely “GrandPrix Mała Plaża,” dedicated to artists from various musical genres – the finalist will perform the chorus of the track.
