Lyricist Society

Giving youth in Detroit a voice through creative mediums.

A teacher emcee is an innovative and culturally responsive educator, who uses the art and ethos of hip-hop to enrich the educational experience. As emcees move the crowd, teacher emcees captivate the minds of students, making learning fresh and relevant.

Reflecting on 50 years of hip hop! Watch how educators, deeply influenced by this art form, have leveraged it to create dynamic curriculums, connect with students & spark learning. How has hip hop influenced you?
