December 4, 2007 will be remembered as the last day that the world would be touched by Chad Lamont Butler, best known as rapper Pimp C, in his physical form.

Suffering from respiratory depression that was caused by an accidental overdose of prmothazine and codeine cough syrup

As the second anniversary of the rapper's death is approaching, his widow, Chinara Butler, has created an outlet to continue his legacy by launching the first annual Chad “Pimp C” Butler Hip Hop & Health Fair.

December 4 is the date to look out for the event starting at 6 p.m.

Butler has partnered up with the CCM Foundation and the Syphilis Elimination Advisory Committee in order to present such a special occasion to honor the life of her husband.

The purpose of the fair is to raise awareness on HIV along with other STD's which have become an epidemic to the African-American community as years have progressed.

Being held in Port Arthur, Texas, the event will feature the Port Arthur Health Department which will be providing those in attendance with free vaccinations along with other health services.

Those in attendance will also be able to show support as there will be a $5 donation at the door along with a canned food drop box.

Of course Hip Hop will also be in attendance as Bun B, Too Short, Trae the Truth, Jackie-O and others will show their support.

The music world will have yet another chance to hear Pimp's voice once again as he is rumored to be featured on Chamillionaire's upcoming release Venom.
