Baba Brinkman at CUSP Conference 2010

Baba Brinkman earned his Masters Degree in Medieval and Renaissance English Literature with a thesis that drew parallels between the worlds of hip-hop and literary poetry. In 2003 he began his career as a rap troubadour.

In 2004, he took his award-winning hip-hop theatre show The Rap Canterbury Tales around the world, including two tours of Australia, three critically-acclaimed runs at the Edinburgh Fringe, several college tours of the US, and frequent returns to the UK and Europe. His rap adaptations are now used in hundreds of classrooms around the world.

Baba Brinkman‘s latest project – The Rap Guide to Evolution – won the prestigious ‘Scotsman Fringe First Award’ at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2009, and was a popular and critical success.
