Khaiim the RapOet aka Self Suffice is an international touring Hip-Hop artist and seasoned motivational public speaker. He’s received critical acclaim for his music and performed with the most respected voices of Hip-Hop, from Talib Kweli to Joyner Lucas. He’s also recorded in Jay-Z’s studio with J Cole’s multiplatinum recording engineer Mez.
Khaiim has received numerous awards for reaching college and high school students with positive messages – in fact, his work with youth even received former President Obama’s “Champions of Change” distinction. Although Khaiim lectures at Trinity, Yale, and other distinguished colleges, fans prefer to catch him diving off stages, performing around the world with everyone from Pulitzer Prize poets like Alice Walker to Grammy winning MCs like Common.
Hip-Hop heads know him as the charismatic lyricist Self Suffice, whose album with Dreamville’s Mez summited the Indie Hip-Hop Top 40. His positive use of rap music has been lauded by the NY Times, NPR, and many others. Catch him with his live band at a college near you, performing the new album “Self Control”.
