Please join the European Union Center for a conversation with Swedish hip-hop artist Jason Diakité (aka Timbuktu), who will talk about his music, his memoir (A Drop of Midnight), and the podcast he produces with chef Marcus Samuelsson (“This Moment”). The podcast began just after the murder of George Floyd, and deals with transatlantic perceptions of issues involving the Black Lives Matter movement, how the two speakers talk to their children about racism, effects of COVID-19 on their respective industries, and future trends in creative economic sectors. Please also see the University of Illinois library guide on rap and hip hop research resources.
