Rock 'n' Vote 2008 finalists

Jeff Baraka
Rapper Jeff Baraka (who some know as O Type Star) has recorded with Common and opened for Jurassic 5 but is ready to finally break out big. “I’m kinda, like, in the rap fraternity,” he says. “Rappers know me but the general public at large might not.” Now’s the time to get hip to this MC/poet, whose beats come with more smarts than you might expect from someone so devoted to legitimate lyricism.
