Jadakiss and Styles P are bonafide hip-hop heavyweights whose careers have spanned three decades, but their legacies may be solidified by something other than their music. Through their chain of juice bars, Juices For Life, the emcees are looking to provide a much-needed place for people in low-income neighborhoods to consume something good for them. These neighborhoods are often referred to as "food deserts," since access to nutritional food is virtually nonexistent. In this America Tonight excerpt, Sarah Hoye meets with Jadakiss and Styles P, who are leading by example and looking to help put an end to food deserts.
