Roy Scott (Part 1) Talks Trading D1 Scholarship To Rap, Meeting Dyamund Shields, Old Tech N9ne Rap Beef, And Losing Deal With Sony Records.

Roy Scott, CEO and founder of Healthy Hip Hop, was heavily influenced by hip-hop culture growing up. After graduating high school, he passed on a promising college basketball career to become a rapper. Years later, Roy picked up his four-year-old son, Justus, from school and noticed him repeating his explicit lyrics word for word. That’s when he knew a drastic change was needed and Healthy Hip Hop was born. ​Healthy Hip Hop serves as a positive alternative that focuses on uplifting youth through promoting mental and physical health, educational achievement and personal empowerment.
