Rapper Consensus has particle physics flow
Published Nov 14, 2018
As a songwriter, emcee, rapper, and producer, Antoine Gittens-Jackson, known professionally as Consensus, draws from the hip-hop, grime, and trap genres of music. As a scientist from South London with a degree in aeronautical engineering, he draws inspiration from particle physics, dark matter, and the Large Hadron Collider. Consensus—who has performed and spoken about the intersection of art and science throughout Europe, Canada, and the U.S.—brings his tour to the Johns Hopkins Department of Physics & Astronomy on Friday, Nov. 16.
