Taking the Rap

Flu.gov sponsored a contest designed to get the word out about preventing transmission of the H1N1 virus. This winning entry from "KRS-H1N1" makes reference to rapper KRS-One, who is known for his work on HIV prevention in Africa. Doctor John D. Clarke, the "rapping doctor," has performed other songs in the past about diseases like diabetes that similarly emphasize a few simple rules that patients can easily follow.
