LAK is the co-founder, CEO, recording artist and co-executive producer of Smart Music Entertainment. His new album, Lesson One: Hip-Hop & Education, has hit Amazon bestseller lists, reaching #1 in Hot New Releases and #8 in all Educational Music. Songs on Lesson One hit on topics such as money management, female empowerment, African-American impact, history, politics, and more. CBS Radio calls it "creative, innovative and informative." The Urban Times says, "LAK is taking the reigns from the higher powers who control hip-hop, and bringing it back to its original essence." Dominion of New York says, "Most people who use hip-hop to educate children do so badly, Lak does it so well that after a kid shares his music with you, you'll secretly download the album yourself."
