Educated Rapper

Educated Rapper (born as Jeffrey Campbell) was a rapper and cofounder of the hip-hop group UTFO, most famous for their song "Roxanne, Roxanne".^[1] Educated Rapper originally matriculated from City College of New York before UTFO signed their first record deal with Select Records.

Educated Rapper cultivated an educated, erudite image, humorously contrasting with that of his cohorts. He was born in Hammersmith, a district of London; he moved to Brooklyn, New York, with his Guyanese family at the age of 16. He graduated from the College of New Rochelle in January 2009 as Valedictorian/Magna Cum Laude. He continues to be active in the underground hip-hop scene in conjunction with Mixmaster Ice of UTFO on his Internet radio show, Mixmasterice.com. He is called upon for motivational speaking in public schools expounding on themes and issues that concern today's youth.
