Hueman Prophets

When listening to Hueman Prophets or witnessing their live performance the audience peers through a window looking at two very real people. Hueman Prophets always keeps their music and action unpredictable, just like the beat of life. They arent afraid to bring the audience with them on a journey into a world that challenges the norm.
This Washington, DC area-based group realized their mission to bring forth balance and understanding to listeners through music and theater at an early age. The core members of Hueman Prophets are AuraGin (Jabari Exum) and StraightForward (Baye Harrell). StraightForward and AuraGin formed a bond at the early age of 4, and by the time they were 6 years old, the two were writing songs together. This creativity has lasted them a lifetime and now is destined for the world.
As fate would have it, in their youth, AuraGin and StraightForward would go their separate ways and take different life paths. StraightForward continued with more formal education within the neighboring suburbs of Washington D.C. while AuraGin remained in the hostile and high-paced climate of the inner city. StraightForward began to hone his skills as a dj, producer, keyboardist and saxophonist. AuraGin focused on production, keyboards, djembe, Latin percussion, trap drums and marimba. But, with a creative bond like these two share, nothing could keep them apart. In 1997, StraightForward and AuraGin reunited to form Hueman Prophets. Together, they have continued to represent both the urban and suburban experiences within the Hip Hop generation and Black America.
The innovative format of Hueman Prophets music and performances are rooted in Hip Hop culture. However, this duo are graphic storytellers that ultimately lend new perspective to timeless, real-life situations. Their mission is to reconnect a generation through lifting the veil of class structure and alienation. Using the in your face style of Hip Hop theater, the Hueman Prophets take the stage. Blending polished lyricism with captivating delivery, their sound is unforgettable. Pushing their theatrical approach to a whole new level, the group is breaking new ground with their motion album concept.
Their form of entertainment takes Hip Hop music into uncharted territory.
