My name is Adisa Banjoko, and I am an author and lecturer dealing with the issues of politics, Islam, spirituality, chess and Hip Hop. I have written 2 books, Lyrical Swords Vol. 1: Hip Hop and Politics in the Mix & Lyrical Swords Vol. 2: Westside Rebellion . Both are part of a series of books I'm creating dealing with various issues and solutions pertaining to communities of color. They feature interviews with Russell Simmons, Nas, Paris, Dilated Peoples, Frontline & EA Ski, Shamako Noble, Ray Luv, GZA, Afrika Bambataa, Balance, RZA, Chess Grandmaster Maurice Ashley, DJ QBert, DJ Muggs, Tajai, Casual, Del, Imam Zaid Shakir and many more. I have lectured at various universities and institutions, including The Commonwealth Club, Harvard, Brown, Stanford, U.C. Berkeley, and Dickinson College. On a non-related note, ladies who try to get at me through myspace get deleted QUICK STYLEEE 'cause I'm married. Please know that coming through the door, and God Bless.
