Purpose / Intent

  • Notes individual members’ subsequent careers and contributions (e.g., Skooly’s releases and signing with T.R.U.; Jose Guapo’s mixtapes and collaborations; Shad da God’s solo projects).
  • Directs the Clerk of the House to make an appropriate copy of the resolution available for distribution to the Rich Kidz.

Who is affected
