A couple of weeks ago, we had Tariq Trotter, aka Black Thought, at the i-lab for a truly inspiring evening.
Before sitting down for The Other Side discussion, Black Thought hung out with a bunch of the Harvard Innovation Labs’ venture teams and learned about their innovative startups.
During the talk, we dig into his journey from Philly to the formation of The Roots to his current gig on The Tonight Show. Tariq explains how, along the way, a deep passion for music, a yearning to be creative, and tenacious hustle played a role in his success.
Oh, and don’t miss the 5-minute (unplanned) freestyle near the end!
