(9/16/02, 5 p.m. ET) -- Reggae superstar Beenie Man will launch his Tropical Storm 2K2 tour on October 1 in Providence, Rhode Island. The tour is in support of his latest album, Tropical Storm, which is Number 30 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. The first single from the set, "Feel It Boy" featuring Janet Jackson, is currently Number 46 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.
In addition to his musical endeavors, Beenie Man is very involved in helping his fellow Jamaicans acquire an adequate education. He recently shared some of the details of his efforts with LAUNCH. "What I do for the elder people that don't have a proper education or high school diploma or none of that, we build schools for them," he said. "So they come to school, get they degrees, pass, get they high school diplomas so they can get a job, really, 'cause there's a lot of people, you know, and there's a lot of kids that go to school but they don't learn. They go to school but they don't learn, so when they come from school, we go get them, put them in school."
