-

Midst the f#@%ery that is certain pop music, VMA Award shows and Miley Cyrus, reading this essay from Zimbabwean hip hopper Dumi Right is refreshing and inspiring. Sometimes, we are so caught up in it that we need someone from the "outside" to set us straight and Dumi gives a great perspective on what hip hop means and what hip hop is. 

Dumi Right is no outsider but he grew up in Hararae, Zimbabwe and has experienced hip hop in a different way than most of us here in the States have. He is a member of the pioneering and groundbreaking hip-hop crew Zimbabwe Legit, one of first rap groups from Africa to make a splash worldwide.  Want to know the positive impact it has had in the lives of people world wide and not just watch a Disney star twerk? Read this post! What do you think?
