Ep 166: "Can this Rapper create a 21st Century Urban Disney?" with Roy Scott

Is Hip Hop music the key to an EdTech revolution for schools and kids? What happens when a gangster rapper turns his mic and mind toward changing lives instead of chasing fame? In this inspiring episode, Rob sits down with Roy Scott, former rap artist turned CEO of Healthy Hip Hop, a platform blending beats and education to uplift the next generation. Roy shares how he flipped his past into purpose—creating kid-friendly hip hop that entertains, educates, and empowers.
