When listening to Hueman Prophets or witnessing their live performance the audience peers through a window looking at two very real people. Hueman Prophets always keeps their music and action unpredictable, just like the beat of life. They arent afraid to bring the audience with them on a journey into a world that challenges the norm.
This Washington, DC area-based group realized their mission to bring forth balance and understanding to listeners through music and theater at an early age. The core members of Hueman Prophets are AuraGin (Jabari Exum) and StraightForward (Baye Harrell). StraightForward and AuraGin formed a bond at the early age of 4, and by the time they were 6 years old, the two were writing songs together. This creativity has lasted them a lifetime and now is destined for the world.
As fate would have it, in their youth, AuraGin and StraightForward would go their separate ways and take different life paths. StraightForward continued with more formal education within the neighboring suburbs of Washington D.C. while AuraGin remained in the hostile and high-paced climate of the inner city. StraightForward began to hone his skills as a dj, producer, keyboardist and saxophonist. AuraGin focused on production, keyboards, djembe, Latin percussion, trap drums and marimba. But, with a creative bond like these two share, nothing could keep them apart. In 1997, StraightForward and AuraGin reunited to form Hueman Prophets. Together, they have continued to represent both the urban and suburban experiences within the Hip Hop generation and Black America.
The innovative format of Hueman Prophets music and performances are rooted in Hip Hop culture. However, this duo are graphic storytellers that ultimately lend new perspective to timeless, real-life situations. Their mission is to reconnect a generation through lifting the veil of class structure and alienation. Using the in your face style of Hip Hop theater, the Hueman Prophets take the stage. Blending polished lyricism with captivating delivery, their sound is unforgettable. Pushing their theatrical approach to a whole new level, the group is breaking new ground with their motion album concept.
Their form of entertainment takes Hip Hop music into uncharted territory.

The cupboard is bare, and there aint nuttun in fridge for any of your kids to share, to relinquish their appetites. Fright and frustration is the thought that devours the mind set of the provider whom is compelled to aide the aching of those bellies. Bellies once filled and now, in a strange twist, ask please sir I want some more. Egregiously you accept the Faus offer to momentarily fill the void that the meals of happiness have left. So against your will, Mr. Smith you must pursue anything to circumvent the Big Mac attack that has enthralled your offspring. C’mon on lets go back again for the seventh time today. With keys in hand you start your SUV as you leave your domicile for the arches of smile. Shitttt! You forgot to fill up and now gas is an arm or a leg and supreme is your first born and its bed. So what is the closes thing? Oh yea the carryout, you exclaim. And with a change in attitude smiles frown; for your kids know now there are no toys of fun at chung’s. However they are hungry so they take a sacrifice in hopes they can each get a large sprite. Just then your vehicle comes to stop, its appears that the extra weight of the biggens in the back have made it so that you SUV can no longer go. Onstar how can we help you? Yes we need a tow because, we ran out of gas. Okay a truck is on the way. How much longer dad my stomach hurts really bad yea me too, can we walk to the place? No we must stay and make sure the truck is safe. Seeing the pain on their face, conscious gives chase to ur mind and now you find urself outside with two children whom only experience the world through Viacom, Microsoft, and Sony. I guess that is why they both slow up and say (in darth vaders voice) dad hold up your our father. Your not suppose to leave us. And just as 6:30 in the morning, it dawns on you that you are a horrible parent whom has not set any rules and feed into any request that your morbidly obese children ask. Your epiphany has you saying that you’re gonna change for T
