GRAMMY-award-winning rapper Lupe Fiasco will soon have a new title to add: Professor. He recently announced on Twitter that he is set to become a visiting professor at Boston’s acclaimed MIT, Massachusetts Institute of Technology this fall.

Fiasco said he’s been holding on to the news for a while and will provide more details later. A tweet from him said, “I’ll just say it straight and raw: I’m going to teach Rap at MIT.”

I been holding this for a while. I’ll put together something more sophisticated later that really captures the nuance and gravity but for now I’ll just say it straight and raw:

I’m going to teach Rap at @MIT
