Outside of the hip hop community he is known as Robert Bolton and hosts a York University radio talk show, Kaleidoscope, focusing on international issues such as a recent discussion on global human trafficking. He is currently working on his bachelors’ degree at York University majoring in Fine Arts Cultural Studies and minoring in Creative Writing.
