The borough president collaborated with a hometown rap star – not in a song, but to give back to a local elementary school during the holidays.

On Tuesday, December 20, Borough President Ruben Diaz, Jr. teamed up with rapper Fat Joe to announce the donation of 20 new desktop computers to P.S. 146 Edward Collins, the rap artist’s alma mater.

The announcement of the computer donation was made in the school auditorium, where P.S. 146 elementary students anxious awaited for the Bronx-born and Bronx-bred rapper to make his appearance.

Fat Joe joined the BP Diaz and P.S. 146 principal Ronald Laurent when he made the announcement to the students about the new computers.

“This holiday season, Fat Joe wanted to give back to the youth of this borough, and I am very proud that he chose his alma mater, P.S. 176, to receive these new computers,” said Diaz, Jr. “We want to make sure that students are getting the resources they need to advance and grow their technical skills and prepare them the best we can while at school.”
