5. Mumia Performance
When Mos Def was still gaining fame as a viable emcee during his Black Star days with Talib Kweli, activism was already a part of his platform as an artist. In 2000, Mos, along with Black Thought of The Roots and dead prez, put on a benefit concert called “Voice of the Voiceless” in NYC for internationally recognized political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal. Held at Hunter College, the show was initiated to bring media attention to police brutality cases.
