Stranger by Seeming (featuring SAMMUS) from the Artoffact Records compilation Misogyny is Not a Music Genre ♀

I met Nerdcore rapper and producer Sammus aka Enongo Lumumba-Kasongo back in 2017 at Geek Girl Con in Seattle, Washington. I liked her style immediately. She was soft-spoken and genuinely engaging in our interview with her. On stage that year at GGC she was something else — fierce and full of energy. Sammus has gone on to do so much more, including earning her PhD from Cornell. Her latest project, ENONGO, is seeking crowdfunding. It is a feature-length documentary project inspired by her life story with original, hand-drawn animation sequences from a team of six talented Black women.

Sammus’ music tackles various subjects including race, feminism, video games, the music industry, mental health, and the complexity of relationships. Inspired by the iconic feminist bounty hunter protagonist of Nintendo’s Metroid video game series, Enongo adopted the stage persona “Sammus” to tell her story and experiences through her music. Sammus is an amazing lyricist and beat stylist with a hard nerd edge. Hailing from New York state, she is a woman with a story to tell and a dope crew of Black women behind her. Her music is available on her website: Sammus Music. In addition to 4 discs and numerous singles, Sammus is also an accomplished educator and activist.

It’s exciting to see and certainly inspirational! By reaching the team’s minimum goal of at least $20,000 (and hopefully surpassing it!), they’ll be able to finish roughing out, drawing, and clean-up on their amazing animation sequences to add to the documentary film. Along with wanting this team of Black women animators to win, I’m ecstatic for more folks to know about Enongo Lumumba-Kasongo, her music and her life story.

Lucianne Walkowicz, the NASA/Library of Congress Chair in Astrobiology, hosted an event in September to bring these ideas to the public called “Becoming Interplanetary: What Living on Earth Can Teach Us about Living on Mars.” We chatted with her, as well as event panelists Enongo Lumumba-Kasongo and Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, about what decolonizing Mars means to them. This is just a small snippet of the broader conversation that includes well-known scientists, artists, and science fiction writers.

Sammus, (Ithaca, NY)  an extraordinary rap artist that defies genre, dropping bars that range from thoughtfully introspective to esoteric gamer references.

Sammus is somewhere between nerdcore and afrofuturism

Enongo Lumumba-Kasongo used to get the same question every time she set down the mic and stepped off the stage. She came to expect it after performing in crowded bars, big music festivals or comic book stores, and the question usually came from a wel... http://dlvr.it/N916Vq

Indie rapper Sammus’ album Pieces in Space was one of my favorites last year, so I was psyched to talk to her on the show! We talk a lot about grad school - Sammus (Enongo Lumumba-Kasongo) is getting her PhD and nurturing a growing rap career - and we talk about the difficulties of that, the problems with academia, her great uncle Congolese prime minister and freedom fighter Patrice Lumumba and a lot more. Great talk (and also buy her album)! Hear it tomorrow!

Sammus is the stage name adopted by Ithaca, NY producer, rapper, activist, and PhD student Enongo Lumumba-Kasongo. Known as much for her rousing stage presence as she is for her prowess as a beatmaker and lyricist, Sammus has spent the past several years cultivating a strong following of activists, hip hop heads, punks, and self-proclaimed nerds and geeks, among others.

They leave rape threats in your mentions They get big ups from they henchmen When you kick ‘em out they make new accounts That are fake like some extensions, I’m thinking You should invest in collecting a best friend Who won’t let you press send

Sammus' "Cubicle" (feat. Alex Attard) (selected by @oyoungbl)

For fans of Noname, Lil Simz, Junglepussy, Mykki Blanco, Kamaiyah, Cakes Da Killa, Clipping., Jean Grae.

"SAMMUS (Enongo Lumumba-Kasongo) is an Ithaca, NY-based rap artist and PhD student from Cornell University. During her performance she discusses her struggle to pursue her passion for hip-hop and completing her PhD in Department of Science & Technology Studies. These struggles are threaded throughout many of songs, as well as searching for her black identity, conflicts with her parents over her music passion, and her love of video games.

Her stage name is based off the Metroid game character, Samus. Her fascination with this character starts with unveiling that the kickass character is a woman. Now, Sammus has a couple of songs dedicated to the Metroid female fighter and showcases a mock cyber cannon replica on stage while she performs songs like “Mae Jemison.” SAMMUS is still discovering herself as a performer and producer, but is already stealing hearts and creating buzz with her energetic live performances. Even though, most of the her live shows are in centered in the New York area, please check her show the next time your in Northeast region, she won’t disappoint." - @oyoungbl
