R. Kelly Says "Rise Up"


Inspired by the tragedy at Virginia Tech, R. Kelly wrote a song to benefit the memorial fund...
R. Kelly has written a new song, "Rise Up," about healing in the aftermath of the April 16 shootings at Virginia Tech. A gunman killed 32 people and himself on the university's campus in Blacksburg, Va.

"Rise Up" will be available digitally May 15, and 100 percent of the net proceeds from its sale will go to the Hokie Spirit Memorial Fund, said Jive Records, Kelly's record label.

Though he is under fire by his brother, calling him a molester among other things, R. Kelly is the king of inspirational songs! He's also the same guy that turned a remix on someone else's album into a hit for his own!
