Romeo wants to give back to the kids and his planning with father Master P, a children’s book and a cartoon.

Gee Gee The Magical Giraffe is the new character that Romeo is hoping will make learning cool

 ”If you reach kids with a positive message and instill the importance of education when they’re young, they’ll have that mentality for the rest of their life,” Romeo said. “Gee Gee is going to be a role model and teach kids trough music, books, song, dance, and animation.”

“Even though I’m growing up, I still love the kids – everything I do is for the development of young minds. Gee Gee is a way of staying connected with my younger fans,” the rapper said while admitting that his self-titled Nickelodeon show taught him a lot in terms of providing experience to help create the book and cartoon.

The rapper also enlisted the help of cartoonists Ryan Hutchinson and Olatokunbo Betiku to work on the animated cartoon series. Master P believes the cartoon will give him the opportunity to provide positive images to the youth

“There just aren’t enough positive characters out there for our kids to look up to and learn from,” said Romeo’s father, Master P. “Gee Gee is more important than any record or movie we’ve made. Romeo has inspired me to develop educational characters of my own. Instead of going into the booth to rap, I’ll be in the booth lending my voice to a cartoon character that can make a difference.”

The first Gee Gee cartoon DVD is set to hit stores in 2009. A Gee Gee film is scheduled to arrive in theaters that same year.
