Interview with Amir Sulaiman

Amir Sulaiman is best known for his work on Def Poetry Jam. With his most famous piece being “Danger” garnering a lot of attention, one might consider him to be an artist filled with anger.

Exploring the boundaries of art and what it is to be Muslim, black, hip hop, a lyricist, activist, writer and the list continues.
