Dr. Hill shares with students around the world that it is, “All about your attitude.” Dr. Fairest Hill has spoken to over one million youth and mentored more than five thousand, and he was given a “Lifetime Achievement Award” from former president Barack Obama. Dr. Fairest Hill is known to have an incredibly unique way of reaching our youth, blending music and motivational spoken words to capture their attention. Dr. Fairest Hill is currently on his international “Roll Wit It” Tour, with a focus on youth empowerment and leadership training. “As I speak around the world, and in schools, I sense that there is such a great amount of calamity, fear and restlessness, with many students suffering from mental illness. This song really addresses the need, and the solution to the challenges that everyone is faced with. Also, our schools are experiencing a tremendous number of cutbacks, with positions of teachers, counselors, and enrichment programs that help to empower students being at risk. It is our hope that the funds we raise on this “Roll Wit It” tour can keep mentorships, empowerment programs and staff development programs going, to encourage the students and school staff to believe that no matter how things are, everything is going to work out, every problem has an expiration date, so just roll with it Roll Wit It!

His songs have always included non-traditional approaches to form and song structure, but with this album, he has pushed it further than ever.
