Marco Pavé has forged a twin identity as a champion of independent Southern Hip-Hop and as an educator and arts advocate working to stimulate community activism and entrepreneurship through the lens of hip hop music and culture.  Born and raised in North Memphis, Pavè started rapping seriously to articulate the dangerous day-to-day realities of his neighborhood. It took a few years for him to align with his sense of purpose and that's where I come in to curate a conversation that finds him Grammy-Nominated in the very beginning of his 30s. He has built an unprecedented career that uses Hip-Hop culture not only as a means of personal expression, but also as an educational tool designed to make an impact on both individuals and systems of power.
