VIdeo: Rocawear I Will Not Lose – Nicole Paultrie-Bell

More from Allhiphop.com about the surprising gift of love to Sean Bell’s widow and children from Jay Z and Rocawear:

That’s really nice of Jay-Z to take the steps to ensure that the children are taken care of.

Too bad we don’t hear more about this. The media is quick to cover the negative issues, but such acts of kindness go uncovered. Much respect for the Roc.
