Jay-Z Gives Back To Marcy Projects

The New York Post reports Jay-Z, who years ago sold crack while living in Brooklyn’s gritty Marcy Projects, will be at the housing project’s community center from noon to 2 p.m. bearing gifts for Marcy’s children. “His hope is to show the community’s youth that success is possible,” said his spokesman. “In addition to the annual holiday toy drive, Jay-Z has also established a special scholarship fund for eligible high school students from the Marcy area.”
