Grammy and Emmy Award Winning Hip Hop Artist Pras Michél of Blacture

Today on The Neil Haley Show, The Total Tutor Neil Haley will interview Grammy and Emmy Award Winning Hip Hop Artist Pras Michél of Blacture.

An estimated 103.4 million people tuned in to watch the Super Bowl this February and with it, the most anticipated commercials of the year. One spot in particular stood out - directed by Antoine Fuqua, the commercial began with Pras Michél walking onto a stage, blind folded and with tape on his mouth. As Michél removed the blindfold and tape, he gave a knowing look into the camera as the words “Be Celebrated. Not Tolerated,” appeared on the screen.

Both viewers and the media embraced the commercial - it was included among the five best of the night by the Chicago Tribune and called “one of the boldest” by the Washington Post. Social media was set ablaze with enthusiasm, but little was known about what it meant.

The veil of secrecy will soon be lifted as Michél takes the stage at the University of Pittsburgh on May 2, 2018. Blacture, a multifaceted tech platform designed to jumpstart a new era of black renaissance, will be fully revealed. Blacture is unlike any entity or organization - it aspires to be the epicenter of Black culture and a hub for innovation created by Black people worldwide. 

Some may ask, why Blacture and why now? To put it succinctly: “This is a great time for Black culture,” says Michél.

This summer, Blacture will roll out an editorial component, which will cover often overlooked news and amplify unheard voices - storytelling that informs and moves the Black community (and everyone who embraces Black culture). The platform will also grow to include health care services, financial services, job creation and urban development within the next six months to a year.
