Buddhist Hip Hop: the latest from Born I

Buddhist Hip Hop: the latest from Born I 2014-02-01T18:21:11-07:00

I had the pleasure of meeting Ofosu (aka Born I and Born Infinite) at the 2012 UN Vesak conference, organized by Dr Dion Peoples (pictured below). His presentation, which included some free-style verse, was fantastic and I can only hope he continues to attend and present at conferences such as this.

Describing his cross-genre electronic/hip hop/rap music, Born I says, “If I can bring different sounds together, I can bring different people together; if I can bring different people together, then we can begin to see that we’re not really that different at all. That’s how we’ll change the world.”
