A recurring favorite at the SoHo Playhouse with its popular guide to rap series, science rapper and award-winning entrepreneur Baba Brinkman didn’t let the pandemic put a stop to his acclaimed act. He continued to perform virtually on Zoom and even expanded his breakthrough career by designing and founding a new company called event rap – the first-ever personalized rap content booking tool.

With the success of this new form of entertainment – which he has done dozens of times in Zoom meetings, galas and virtual conferences – Baba was inspired to invite other rappers to participate in the new platform.

All are designed to provide a unique experience for attendees and to help customers share their message with the world.
