VIDEO: WATCH RADIO B’S KEYNOTE ADDRESS AT VIRGINIA UNION UNIVERSITY [FAITH & HIP-HOP]

The merger of hip-hop and higher education has been moved to a new level at Virginia Union University (VUU), thanks in-part to a new fellowship dedicated to exploring the role of hip-hop on campus. Ricky Parker is the first VUU Center for Undergraduate Research Fellow and he has already started to make an impact on campus. Last month, he brought hip-hop artist, turn Christain evangelist, No Malice, to campus for a lecture and open-forum. Last week, the university tapped Richmond MC and entrepreneur Radio B to keynote the 3rd Annual Research & Creative Inquiry Expo at the VUU Center.

Radio B is a popular hip-hop artist from Richmond’s southside. He recently released a new album titled Jesus Never Wore A Suit.  He is the founder of the RVA Lyricist Lounge and co-founder of emerging battle rap league, the Southpaw Battle Coalition.
