How Rap Duo Obsesión Made Hip-Hop Political in Cuba

On this episode of 'Daily VICE,' Obsesión tells us how they've used music as a tool to publicly critique social issues in Cuba for the past 20 years.

Today on Daily VICE, we travel to eastern Havana, home to Obsesión, one of Cuba's biggest hip-hop groups. The duo started making music in the early 90s during a time of political, social, and economic strife in the country, and we spoke to them about making conscious music and the importance of artist activism.
