In this manuscript, the author discusses how hip-hop and rap music can be used to as a
tool for social justice advocacy to stimulate urban African American young men’s
sociopolitical empowerment to combat educational barriers. The manuscript includes a
historical examination of the environment in which hip-hop culture was conceived. The
focus then shifts to how particular hip-hop artists’ lyrical content is germane to the
social justice advocacy orientation mandate of 21st century professional school
counselors working in urban settings. Finally, practical suggestions are be provided for
how social justice oriented professional school counselors can apply this content when
working directly with urban African American young men.
