Thirty-three-year-old John Bargo, known in the music world as JohnnyB, will be taking the stage at the Williamsburg National Guard Armory Saturday as the headliner at the Truth2TheYouth hip hop event. Bargo, who attended school at Corbin and Williamsburg, said he was heavily into hip-hop music in his youth just like many of the younger people are today. However, Bargo was also into drugs and that led him to jail. \u201cIn my teen years I was pretty wild and got into some legal trouble,\u201d Bargo explained. \u201cI was raised in church and got wild,\u201d Bargo added. \u201cThen I realized my life was headed nowhere and just decided to give the Lord a shot.\u201d Bargo said that was the start of the long road back and in 2006 he was saved. With hip hop music continuing to include lewd and suggestive lyrics, Bargo said his goal has been to give teens a positive alternative. \u201cMy music was filthy,\u201d Bargo said of the hip-hop he created in his younger days. \u201cI decided to take my love of that style of music and give these kids something better to listen to.\u201d \u201cIt is a good tool to reach the masses of youth,\u201d Bargo added. Bargo\u2019s new music has started developing a following. The song \u201cDo You Remember,\u201d the lyrics of which talks about remembering the good times as children when hatred wasn\u2019t no so prevalent in the world and trying to get back to that, has gotten play on 15 internet radio stations. Following that, Bargo\u2019s single \u201cChange,\u201d spreads the message that positive change is needed in the world and it is time to make those changes happen. I\u2019m trying to help our youth understand the way of love and peace in a land of corruption and evil desires,\u201d Bargo said. Bargo said change is one of the things Truth2The Youth is trying to bring about in the area. \u201cWe don\u2019t have anything, especially in Williamsburg, for the youth,\u201d Bargo said. \u201cWe are trying to get stuff in our town that will attract the kids and keep them out of trouble,\u201d said Lisa Sanders, who is working to organize the event. Along with JohnnyB, the show will feature fellow hip-hop artist Mac Seven. In addition, Neal Sears, who attended Williamsburg High School in 2001, will give his personal testimony. Tickets to the event are $10 each with children eight years old and under admitted free with an adult. Groups of 10 or more will qualify for a discounted rate. \u201cSome of the proceeds will be going to help a family whose house was burned to the ground,\u201d Bargo said. \u201cWe are going to be helping them get back on their feet.\u201d More information is available on Facebook at Truth2theyouth."}
