HHAP Episode 44: From Gabon to the US: Ya Minko on his Experiences in American Hip Hop Culture
September 1, 2019 Msia Kibona Clark
Gabonese artist Ya Minko came by campus for a conversation about his experiences in hip hop communities in Gabon and the United States. We had a long discussion on hip hop culture and the business of hip hop. Every artist has to decide how to market themselves, how to speak to their audience, and how to navigate the politics of the music industry.
Ya Minko spoke to us days before his presentation at the Apple Carnegie store in downtown Washington, DC. Where he performed his song "Tired" during a workshop on hip hop lyricism.
