THE ONE NAME SAYS IT ALL

Toure
FUSE Host
New York, NY

A man that can navigate us through the fickle and unpredictable waters of pop culture, Toure is a connoisseur in this field. He is a BET correspondent, author and the first Pop Culture Analyst on CNN. You have seen him everywhere from MTV to The O’Reilly Factor. He is an author penning the Portable Promised Land, which is a collection of short stories, and Never Drank the Kool-Aid, collections of his magazine work. A native of Boston, MA, Toure left Boston with one goal in mind-to inform the world of the empowering effect hip-hop artists are having on a generation. His route to success can be considered unconventional, interning at Rolling Stone and then later being fired for outsourcing his work to the other interns so he could spend his time engaging in conversations with writers and editors. His approach worked, because when Rolling Stone was ready to cover some of the biggest hip-hop acts, they called Toure back, which led him to doing stories on Lauryn Hill, DMX, Beyoncé, 50 Cent and Eminem. This platform chartered him to writing his first fiction works, his writing have appeared in the New Yorker, the New York Times, the Best American Essays of 1999 and more. Toure’s determination has helped him fulfill the mission of becoming a oneman- media conglomerate.
