Randy Mason Partners with NYC Libraries

Our city’s libraries are engines of opportunity! Cultural institutions contributing to the vitality of our city. I'm absolutely thrilled to partner with the NYPL and with QPL to serve our neighbors through the arts. There's an inextricable connection between lyrics and literacy. Rhymers are readers. Books, beats & bars are where words come alive!


At a workshop youth explore the art of Hip Hop, including songwriting, freestyle, rap, poetry, beat-making, and an Afro-Peruvian drum called the Cajon. This experience provides youth the space to creatively share their personal stories through art and consider the role of art in mental health, wellness and justice. Youth also explore the transferable life skills embedded within the art such as communication, collaboration, innovation and creativity.


“Best rhymer in Bronx NYC!” – Youth participant


“I heard a lot of amazing things and the community absolutely loved it!” -Stephanie Rojas Library Manager

Randy Mason is a Bronx hip hop artist, songwriter, cajón percussionist, educator, pastor, and family man whose life and art reflect the heartbeat of faith, rhythm, and community. Fusing the raw energy of New York City hip hop with the rich traditions of Afro-Peruvian percussion, Randy creates a one-of-a-kind sound that inspires, educates, and uplifts.​

​

Born and raised in the Bronx, the birthplace of hip hop, Randy’s music embodies his Puerto Rican and African American heritage. His performances blend storytelling, live instrumentation, and lyrical depth — a celebration of culture, creativity, and hope. Whether performing on stage, teaching in classrooms, or preaching from the pulpit, Randy brings the same message.

​

As a hip hop educator and founder of R.H.Y.M.E. (Rhymes Help Young Minds Excel), Randy uses rap, writing, and rhythm to mentor youth throughout New York City. His innovative programs help students discover their voices, develop confidence, and dream beyond their circumstances.

Beyond the mic, Randy is a devoted husband, father, and arts and mentoring program director committed to empowering communities through creativity. With every beat, rhyme, and classroom moment, Randy Mason continues to prove that hip hop is more than music — it’s ministry, mentorship, and movement.
