Music industry veteran Shanti Das recently launched the nonprofit organization, “May We Rest in Peace”, to give back to the city of Detroit. Launched in Oct. 2009, Das has thus far raised $20,000 to cover 20 burials in Detroit, with early support from artists and foundations such as Busta Rhymes, Akon and the Kid Rock Foundation in the name of Detroit Clothing Company, as well as other generous donors. Since the launch the organization have been covered by CNNMoney and BET, and is lowering the number of unburied bodies in Detroit every day.
