AK Uhuru is an Educator / Emcee who focuses his energy on the uplifting of Black and Brown people on the continent and the Diaspora. As an educator, he strives to teach the babies the truth about the books they read and helps them get a better understanding of themselves. As an emcee, he brings those lessons outside of the classroom and directly into the face of his audience.
AK Uhuru recognizes the urgency of now in regards to the state of Black and Brown babies and refuses to feed them the poison that the AmeriKKKan MisEducation System, Music industry, and Babylon as a whole forces on them on a daily basis. He believes in EDUCATION through MUSIC. Black and Brown people -- Have you LEARNED/TAUGHT anything substantial lately? If not, then do something about it!
