DJ Envy is doing his part to help the people struggling in his industry during the coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis.

The Breakfast Club host, whose birth name is Raashaun Casey, has raised over $100K to help artists and DJs who are out of work due to the pandemic.

“I’m a DJ and I know how tough it is for DJs at this time,” Casey tells PEOPLE. “Most don’t have healthcare, savings, retirement plans or have their businesses set up where they can get a stimulus check. So how can they provide food on their table? I knew I had to help.”
