Rappers are no exception to this surge of multi-talented public figures and have been a part of the growth for sometime now. As far as additional career ventures many of these eminent figures in hip hop have undertaken acting. Many have failed, but through the years a select few have succeeded in the merging of careers, proving that they have the talent to effectively take on the craft of acting and convince the audience despite their familiarity with their contrasting persona off the big screen.

Native of Los Angeles, CA, Mi'Chele Daniels is a journalist, yogi and content
contributor for HNHH. Growing up in a heavily music influenced and artistic
household she was exposed to and fell in love with all forms of music at an
early age. She is immensely influenced by the Motown sound, classic rock,
jazz and blues along with hip hop and R&B of the 90's and early 00's such as
Aaliyah's "Age Ain't Nothin' But a Number" and Outkast's "Stankonia." A writer
from day one, through her work she incorporates two of her passions and on any
given day is more then likely either writing about music or practicing yoga in her
living room while blasting some. Namaste.
