Rapper Xuman is the host of Journal Rappe  – a weekly news program in Senegal that is rapped in Wolof, French, and English. Journal Rappe is not a gimmick. It’s serious, hard-hitting news – just rapped.

Charles Monroe-Kane sat down with Xuman in our studios in Madison to discuss the future of hip hop. They were joined by Toni Blackman. She’s the Hip-Hop Ambassador to the US State Department. Wait, raise your hand if you knew that the US State Department even had a Hip Hop Ambassador?
