The producer visited Miami Norland High School to donate $10,000 toward the school’s music programs.“They could be young executives, young musicians, big artists,” the We The Best label founder explained to MTV News. “When you give back to the arts, the kids get really excited, so I was glad to come back.”

Miami Norland’s principal, Reginald Lee, praised both Khaled and 99 Jamz for their gesture. “They need something to feel good about, and this will definitely do it. That’s a great donation they gave to the band program and we definitely need those funds,” Lee said. “We have all these extracurricular activities kids can be a part of – drama, music and chorus – and then, you know, with budget cuts, this helps us. Those $10,000 are going directly to the band program so we can entice more of our kids.” – Alley Olivier
