| Brooklyn's OCKZ On Being BLACK+MUSLIM+RAPPER In 2015... And The Trailblazers Who Inspired Him To Islamic Emceeing Greatness |
| The recent terrorism in Paris, the American mass media's depiction of the religion as violent...it's a crazy time to be Muslim in America! Add the "target on your back" of being of Black man and a rapper, and Brooklyn's OCKZ is clear that his life - and the lives of many who look and believe like him - is under constant scrutiny these days. Still, the pressures of being Black+Muslim+Rapper haven't hindered OCKZ from creating what might be one of the best-kept secrets of early 2015: his 12-track, deen-inspired opus, HALAL CHINESE FOOD. Check in as he talks about the stress of his skin color and his religion, offers a role call of Muslim rappers who have held us down, and tells you why HALAL CHINESE FOOD is the only rap dish you should be serving up right now! |
