🚨 Powerful moments happen when purpose meets a microphone. 🚨

At Johnson & Johnson’s Advocacy Reception during #ASCO2026, Phillip Davis aka P.dot57 shared more than music—he shared his journey.

A proud Wilmington, Delaware native, educator, hip-hop artist, and advocate, Phillip has endured 805 dialysis treatments while battling End-Stage Renal Disease.

Yet he continues to use his voice to educate, inspire, and uplift others facing chronic illness.

Then, alongside Grand G, he delivered a preview of 🎶 “The Answer”—the Hip-Hop Cancer Remission Anthem.

“This one for my people with myeloma… who graduated to remission…”

Those aren’t just bars.

They’re hope.
They’re resilience.
They’re proof that advocacy can have a beat.

Delaware showed up. Hip-Hop showed up. Health advocacy showed up.

And we’re just getting started.

🎤 What happens when Hip-Hop meets Health Advocacy on one of the biggest stages in cancer care?

This happened.

This past weekend at #ASCO2026 in Chicago, Johnson & Johnson invited Phillip Davis (P.dot57) and Oya Gilbert (Grand G) to share the mission of the Health, Hope & Hip-Hop Foundation during their Advocacy Reception.

We weren't just performing a song—we were introducing a movement.

A movement that uses Hip-Hop culture to teach health literacy.

A movement that gives hope to patients and caregivers.

A movement that transforms pain into purpose.

We also debuted 🎶 "The Answer"—a hip-hop cancer remission anthem.

For every patient fighting.
For every caregiver standing strong.
For every survivor reaching for that remission bell. 🔔

This video captures our introduction by Johnson & Johnson leadership and closes with a sneak peek of the anthem.

Because advocacy doesn't always sound like a speech.

Sometimes advocacy has a beat.

Sometimes it has a rhyme.

And sometimes it becomes THE ANSWER.

If you believe health education should meet people where they are, help us spread this message by liking, sharing, and tagging someone who needs to hear it.

💙 Health.
💙 Hope.
💙 Hip-Hop.
