    What’s going on my fellow comrades today we got a special interview for y’all. My brother Rob UpLife! First and foremost thank you for stopping by and giving us your story, I appreciate that my brother! Rob is from Gunhill, Bronx. Being raised in the Bronx made him vulnerable to the action that was going on in the street . Fast forward a couple years Rob became a stick up kid and did his work. Reminds me a little of myself, crazy times back in the 80’s. Sentence to a 3-9 did 5 years out of the sentence for Robbery. Being able to go through the system changed Rob’s perspective on life, made him create UpLife Foundation. Rob and his partner Butter’s has been able to create a big wave for the monumental things they done for our community. UpLife Foundation has been able to provide endless support for our young brothers and sister to let them see the importance of life and what it can offer if done right.
