Justin Haynes — known worldwide as RPG, The Rappin’ Grandpa — went from addiction, prison, and absolute rock bottom to becoming a viral hip-hop artist, award-winning producer, author, and mentor to the next generation.

His life reads like a movie:

• Growing up between Chicago and rural Virginia

• Losing everything to addiction

• Surviving violence inside a South Carolina prison

• Walking out of jail in 2013 with only 75 cents

• Rebuilding his life from scratch

• Finding recovery, love, and purpose

• Stepping into a celebrity boxing ring

• Becoming one of the top sales reps in the Southeast

• And finally going viral as The Rappin’ Grandpa, inspiring millions across the world

From losing his family to fighting for it…

From smoking crack to motivating kids nationwide…

From selling candy at 12 to selling out shows at 50…

Justin Haynes shows what redemption really looks like.

Today, RPG uses his platform to:

✔ Help young people avoid drugs

✔ Mentor independent artists

✔ Perform benefit concerts

✔ Raise awareness about recovery

✔ Spread a message of perseverance and second chances

This is the essence of Live Struggle Legacy.
