Rapper Scotty ATL helps the homeless for Christmas

A local record company and rapper partnered with other volunteers to hand out free clothing and toiletries in Atlanta on Christmas Eve.

Atlanta rapper Scotty ATL was at Hurt Park in northeast Atlanta on Saturday helping those in need, Channel 2 Action News reported.

“The good in the hood, you know what I'm saying,” Scotty ATL told Channel 2. “It's good to be out here doing in the community as rappers, artists, as chefs. You know we're doing this independently.”

Organizers say they try to give back throughout the year, but especially during the holidays.
