“I think that Islam itself is the unofficial religion of hip-hop,” proclaims Adisa Banjoko, the San Jose-based writer, publicist, radio show host of One Mic on KNEW-AM, and student of Gracie-style Brazilian jujitsu. “So much hip-hop has come to be that has referenced Islam, that many of the people themselves don’t even recognize it.
