AWKWORD

**AWKWORD** is a socially conscious hip-hop artist and activist known for blending sharp political commentary with global collaborations. Emerging from New York’s underground scene, he gained attention for his 2014 *World View* project, a charitable, crowd-sourced album featuring over 100 artists from 50+ countries, with proceeds benefiting causes like the Innocence Project. His music tackles systemic injustice, police brutality, and grassroots movements, often recruiting fellow activist MCs like Jasiri X, Joell Ortiz, and international voices (Modenine, Wakazi, etc.) to amplify marginalized perspectives. Tracks like “Heather Heyer (Fuck Trump)” and “Ten Demands” reflect his unapologetic, rally-cry style, while his DIY ethos and charity-focused approach keep him rooted in community over industry clout. If you’re into hip-hop that’s equal parts head-nodding and head-turning, AWKWORD’s your soundtrack to the resistance.
