Rah Digga Raising Money for a Newark Dance Project

Femcee Rah Digga launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise money for a project in her home town of Newark, New Jersey. The campaign launched last week with a donation goal of $20,000 and all proceeds will go to the New Jersey Dance Network, a facility in Newark aimed at bringing together dancers, DJ’s and all types of artists to celebrate dance and provide a positive outlet for children in the community. Those who donate can receive a copy of Rah Digga’s newest house music project ‘House: So Jersey’ or even a live performance commitment from Rah Digga herself. Of course that honor is reserved for the larger donations. Check out the Kickstarter Campaign and Rah Digga’s video below.
