Seattle Weekly:
Daniel Kogita doesn’t look like your average hip-hop impresario. To some, his lack of jewels and braggadocio could easily suggest that he’s not worth taking seriously in the world of rap. But what might not present itself at first glance is that the 30-year-old graffiti artist/producer/activist, who also goes by the name King Khazm, is the head of 206 Zulu, one of the Northwest’s most respected hip-hop organizations. They’re based in Beacon Hill and are the local chapter of the legendary Universal Zulu Nation, a grassroots hip-hop advocacy group first formed in the Bronx in 1974 by rap pioneer Afrika Bambaataa.

Positive! I’m glad the mayor’s office is paying attention to the tremendously positive impact Hip Hop youth programming is having on kids in the community, and how vital a resource Hip Hop artists are to youth services in this city.
