What are Pitbull's plans for the new year? Besides pumping up crowds with super catchy party anthems, of course.
The 34-year-old rapper told E! News that in addition to releasing new music, including another single with longtime collaborator Enrique Iglesias, he's also got plans to continue and expand an initiative he has spearheaded that helps kids.
In 2013, the rapper helped open the first Sports Leadership And Management Academy (SLAM), a public charter school for students in grades six through 12, in his native Miami.
"If sports is what you love, one way or another, it's a business you can get involved with...whether you're a therapist, an attorney, a broadcaster," he told NPR in 2013. "They're already labeling me 'Mr. Education.' "
The rapper told E! News more SLAM schools are planned. In 2016, the Sports and Leadership Academy (SLAM) Nevada in Henderson, Nevada will open.
"We have another SLAM going up in Miami—it's called SLAM Junior," Pitbull. "We got approved in Broward County, West Palm, Osceola."
