Disturbing Tha
Peace’s resident R&B singer Bobby Valentino has caught the holiday spirit
and recently adopted 15 senior citizens and their families in his hometown of
Atlanta, GA. On
Dec. 1, the crooner will deliver a truckload of turkeys and vegetable baskets
to the families at the Harriet E. Darnell Multipurpose Center in Atlanta. The
families are senior community gardeners from the Atlanta Urban Gardening Program,
which is headed up by Valentino’s father Bobby Wilson.As
a child, Valentino volunteered his time to the program, where he taught teaching
senior citizens and youth how to garden, clear vacant lots for potential garden
spots as a means to improve the community and build their self-esteem.In
related news, Valentino is finishing Special Occasion, the follow up to
his 2005 Disturbing Tha Peace self-titled debut, which spawned the #1 single "Slow
Down." Special
Occasion features production and song writing from Rodney Jerkins, Dre &
Vidal, Sean Garrett, Tim & Bob, Bryan Michael Cox and others.
