Since 2001, Unity has taught Hip-Hop, art and life skills in public and private schools across northern California and on the island of Guam, where the Guam Legislature awarded a Resolution for his contribution to students’ lives. He continued to teach until 2011, then chose to shift his focus to creating, releasing and performing his own art and music full time.
Unity has collaborated with artists such as Stic.Man of Dead Prez, Sly Stone, George Clinton, Umar Bin Hassan of The Last Poets and many others. He was commissioned by Brenda Aoki, Mark Izu to create a new work for Earth Dance 2020, which was cancelled by the pandemic. He is honored to still have this opportunity to join forces with the First Voice family by presenting this offering to Mother Earth.
Earth 2020 is a rap song and visual audio collage constructed by Unity, with the intent to refocus the viewer on what is truly important right now in this moment; remembering our connection to each other and our environment, and harmonizing with nature and one another so that we have a future here.
