Killer Mike is scheduled to guest lecture on race relations at The Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts this coming Friday (April 24).
Titled “Killer Mike: Race Relations in the US,” the lecture is expected to be based around how current and future technologies impact on race relation issues in the United States, according to the event’s press release.
Killer Mike will speak about race relations in the US in his April lecture at MIT and addresses how current and future technologies impact race relation issues. Topics such as Ferguson, to the SAE incident in Oklahoma, to white privilege and black empowerment will be included. As a social activist and hip hop artist, his music is full of socially conscious lyrics as heard in his album R.A.P. Music (R.A.P. stands for rebellious African people) to his duo Run the Jewels, who just released a new music video showing the futility of police brutality in Close Your Eyes.
Last month, renowned audio engineer and deejay Young Guru presented his “Design and Destruction” lecture at MIT, becoming the first artist in the “Hip Hop Speaker Series.”
