JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Duval hip hop is the focus of an upcoming class at the University of North Florida, taught by a man who helped define the local hip hop scene, even as he redefined what it means to be a rap musician.
Mal Jones is perhaps best known as the host of the Lyricist Live street corner rap sessions that have been a feature of downtown’s monthly Art Walk for a decade. He’s also a poet, a filmmaker, and in 2016, the first rapper ever named a Master Folk Art by the Florida Folklife Council.
