Tribute Song for Tennessee Coach Pat Summitt - Proceeds To Pat Summitt Foundation

(prHWY.com) May 21, 2012 - Los Angeles, CA -- JENN-JENN has released a Hip Hop tribute song to honor the legendary basketball coach Pat Summitt entitled "We Back Pat" on on May 08, 2012.

Known mostly for her soul-infused Hip Hop love songs, this California Hip Hop MC has written a different type of love song that will get the listeners involved in a good cause.
Though she has been keeping a low profile during the production of her upcoming album, JENN-JENN felt it necessary to take a break from that project and share her musical testimony about her life-long mentor as soon as she heard the news that Pat Summitt was stepping down as head coach due to her diagnosis of early-onset dementia. Influenced not only by her love and respect for the legendary coach, but also her personal experience with close relatives who have suffered from Alzheimer's disease, she wrote a song that addresses the role Coach Summitt plays in the lives of many people that look up to her. She also found a way to delicately touch on the Alzheimer's topic to assure Pat Summitt that she has a team of people to support and back her - hence the "We Back Pat."

"Sometimes you'll have trouble remembering/ But we're your seeds and we'll never forget how you/ Taught us to water ourselves/ To become flowers ourselves/ You have a garden of love here to Remind you."

The single has already received the support of several celebrity athletes and professional basketball legends such as Chamique Holdsclaw, a 3-time NCAA Women's Basketball champion and WNBA star who played under Pat Summitt. Holdsclaw posted a screen shot of the "We Back Pat" iTunes download on her Twitter profile for her followers to see. Retweets about the single have been flooding Twitter including a few from basketball player Daniel Artest who called for his followers to download the song and followed those tweets with a statement aimed at JENN-JENN's twitter page - "It's awesome to see someone that won't sell out." - Referring to JENN-JENN's commitment to release music that is meaningful, not just marketable.

Proceeds from "We Back Pat" will be donated to the Pat Summitt Foundation to help with Alzheimer's research.
