Intikana met Nas when he was 17 and the encounter changed his life. That moment greatly influenced Intikana's understanding of destiny; eventually inspiring him to lead a career in Hip Hop Education. As a teaching artist and youth mentor, Intikana has dedicated ten years to educating youth & adults in hundreds of universities/colleges, high schools, shelters, group homes, and prisons. Providing unique programming to disadvantaged youth, Intikana has had the honor of having Large Professor, Liza Rios, Chris Rivers, and various artists in his classroom. Intikana co-hosted Family Day with Torae at the 2014 Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival. He has also presented his music at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, The Hip-Hop Theater Festival and many other prestigious institutions. He is the recipient of The Bronx Council On The Arts' BRIO (Bronx Recognizes Its Own) award for excellence in Performing Arts and actively seeks to heal the masses through delivering substantial music with a message.
