MTV Tr3s Tiene Corazón

We know the life of a VJ seems like all fun and games...

But when the cameras stop rolling our peeps spend their free time looking out for the community. L. Boogs and Carlos Santos represented for the Empower Arts Education Benefit supporting W.H.C.A.P (Washington Heights Community Arts Project) at pier 66 in New York City last night.

The gala was hosted by none other than L. Boogs (shout out to Sucker Free Latino!). He kept the crowd in order by shhing (is that a word?) the rowdy chicos in the back and even pretended to be Vanna White by showcasing raffled items.

The evening showcased the talents of MTV Tr3s Top 20/ Mi TRL host Carlos Santos también. He performed a stand-up comedy act discussing parranda etiquette and road rules in Puerto Rico. After Carlos was done warming-up the crowd, rapper Malverde came on-stage to represent the west coast. The always political rapper had no problem voicing his pro-Obama agenda in a remix he did over the Lil Wayne "A Milli" beat.

He also expressed why this event was important to him:

Art defines culture. I am a product of the influence art has on the life of a youth.

You can't beat partying for a good cause. For more info on empowering the youth of Washington Heights check out the WHCAP website. Make a difference ahora!
