Rapospective is a media platform that produces documentary-style reviews and video essays on rap music throughout its existence: from rap's foundations as an element of hip hop culture, through its formative years and the much-lionized Golden Age, and to its commercial accomplishments and cultural and global domination.
Rapospective’s founder, Dayo Akinwande, has a Bachelor’s degree in history from UMBC and a Master’s degree in Journalism from Georgetown University. He started covering rap music as a reviewer under the moniker “Balogun” at the now-defunct Epinions.com from 2006 to 2010, and he also worked as a beat reporter on the Washington, D.C. area’s rap scene for the Post Express. After a few years as a full-time political editor, Akinwande transitioned into tech, eventually founding his own consulting firm with IT architecture and technical documentation as areas of expertise.
