ARE YOU LISTENING?! Recording artist Radiant Amar’s song for Haiti, “I Send My Heart to Haiti”, was just released. As you may know, his brother Hasaun Muhammad has accompanied Wyclef Jean for several days at a time since earthquakes ravaged Haiti on January 12.

Jerry Wonder (The Fugees) praises Radiant Amar: “His sound is where hip-hop is heading.”

Radiant Amar has partnered with Knowlove and a group of powerful 1st graders from Brooklyn Excelsior Charter School to record “I Send My Heart to Haiti”.

Please support the tireless, heartfelt efforts of my friends in their efforts to support Wyclef Jean’s Yéle Haiti Foundation by downloading this song and donating a minimum of $1.

Radiant Amar is a friend and personal muse of mine: his unique brand of social entrepreneurship is backed by his smooth vocals. During his childhood, he saw the bad side of violence, drugs, and gangs – and chose to do something about it. Radiant founded the C.H.A.N.G.E. Initiative, and has partnered with Russell Simmons, T.I., Rev. Al Sharpton, and others to encourage people, regardless of their age, race, class or creed, to become agents of positive social change. Radiant isn’t just a musical talent but a giving soul who is focused on change as a way of life and thought pattern for future-focused young people. I have seen fellow social-cause oriented young leaders of our generation gravitate towards Radiant as a voice of inspiration, a visionary, and a catalyst – he is a true hero.

HeroEx, which promotes social entrepreneurship by giving part-time delivery opportunities to disadvantaged and unemployed members of the San Francisco community, is proud to support unique and talented social entrepreneurs like Radiant Amar.

In the spirit of Denzel Washington starring in the upcoming movie “The Book of Eli,” we are delivering movie tickets for you to see it at any theatre in San Francisco that is showing the movie. He holds our attention through all the SAG Awards, AFI Film Awards, Oscars, and of course, People Magazine’s 50 Most Beautiful People. So when Denzel says “Deliver Us”, we say “OK!”

Here’s a partial synopsis from Rotten Tomatoes: “ In the not-too-distant future, some 30 years after the final war, a solitary man walks across the wasteland that was once America. Empty cities, broken highways, seared earth–all around him, the…In the not-too-distant future, some 30 years after the final war, a solitary man walks across the wasteland that was once America. Empty cities, broken highways, seared earth–all around him, the marks of catastrophic destruction. There is no civilization here, no law. The roads belong to gangs that would murder a man for his shoes, an ounce of water…or for nothing at all.”

HeroEx brings it to YOU first:

Here’s a sneak peek of Jason Derulo shooting the new music video for his hit song “In My Head” in Van Nuys, California. “In My Head” debuted at #63 on the Billboard Hot 100, but the music vid hasn’t dropped yet.

He recently shot it on location in front of a Circle K owned by my college friend Frank Ahn. (Frank’s in the video too).

Jason Derulo’s got the moves, check it out:

And if you’re in Van Nuys, swing by Frank Ahn’s famous Circle K on 16056 Sherman Way. Just drop my name, and he’ll hook you up. (Did you know that Frank and I had our own party promotion group called “In Da Club” in college?)

Lawrence Coburn, the CEO of RateItAll (the premier consumer review website), tried out HeroEx and went on record with a review of his own:

“I’ve used them once (for some batteries for a wireless keyboard), and the service was awesome.”

Thanks, guys!

Technology is a tool for Francis Ford Coppola. Just like how it’s a tool that helps HeroEx coordinate deliveries.

It’s the means, not the end.

Francis Ford Coppola says technology helps preserve films, drawings, music, and performances which are “the real wealth of the human race.”
