Updated - Friday 24 November 2006
You can watch three interesting and moving water videos from rapper Jay-Z's diary that he made during his first world tour in Africa on the international MTV site.
American hip-hop artist Jay-Z traveled to several areas affected by the water crisis, as part of a joint initiative with the United Nations. His experiences were documented by MTV for a special, "Diary of Jay-Z: Water for Life," airing 24 November 2006. The "Break the Addiction", is MTV's year-long campaign to engage young people to help reduce global warming, which has exacerbated the world's water crisis. Think.mtv.com features a special section dedicated to the project.
The hip-hop star started his tour from Angola, then went on to South Africa and came to Ghana before finally ending it in Nigeria.
