He went from street rhymes to seed rounds.
He went from street rhymes to seed rounds.
Roy Scott was a rising hip hop artist, but a moment in the car with his 3-year-old son changed everything.
He was bumping his music like usual… but when his son started repeating the lyrics from the backseat, something clicked.
That was the epiphany moment.
Right then and there, Roy decided he wouldn’t keep passing down that version of the culture.
He made a pivot.
What started as a personal decision to be a better father turned into Healthy Hip Hop, a platform built to uplift kids, bridge education and culture, and infuse empowerment into every beat.
And get this…
That idea? It’s now backed by millions in investment.
Roy's is hte king of pitching and has the scars and no's to prove it. But he's earned his expertise by actually showing up and doing the work.
He's built tech, partnered with schools, and now he teaches others how to pitch with purpose so their vision connects with the right people.
Roy and I have been working together for over a year, and I’ve watched him help countless creators, founders, and authors turn their message into movement.
If you have an idea, a story, or a mission that matters, don’t just keep it in your head.
Learn to pitch it. Frame it. Share it.
Your future collaborators, investors, and partners are out there.
But only if your message is sharp enough to land.
