In this episode of InSecurity, Matt Stephenson sits down with Nerdcore superstar OHM-I to find out what is happening in the world of Nerdcore Hip Hop and where it intersects with the world of cybersecurity. OHM-I has spent over a decade in both games and has plenty to say about his time in each.
We ask OHM-I if legends like Grandmaster Flash and Rick Rubin’ hacked music’ in the formative days of Hip Hop, what role can tech companies play in bringing young black men into STEM programs at an early age, and if there such a thing as Nerdcore Country music.
