If Kansas City had a soundtrack, Craig Smith would probably create it. Smith is a local rapper and producer whose music has been picked up by Fox’s “Star” and “Empire,” Starz’ “Power,” TNT and Lionsgate Films. While he’s found success commercially, he uses his platform to increase awareness of injustices in his KC community and works to change them.
Season 2 of Show Me is a four-part video series that runs consecutive Wednesdays through May 3, culminating in a 30-minute special May 18, 2017 on KCPT. Follow the series with #ShowMeKC.
