Biography
Toure Neblett is an author, cultural critic, music journalist, and television personality best known as co-host of MSNBC’s The Cycle. Prior to his role at MSNBC, Neblett was CNN’s pop culture correspondent and hosted an interview series called On the Record on Fuse. His 25 years of experience interviewing and writing about hip hop has made him one of the best-known and well-respected journalists of the genre. For over a decade, he wrote for Rolling Stone, where he published cover stories on Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z, DMX, Lauryn Hill, 50 Cent, Migos, and others. Neblett also worked with KRS-One, Nas, and Rakim on their autobiographies. He wrote the definitive Prince biography, I Would Die 4 You: Why Prince became an Icon. He has more credibility within the hip hop community than any other media figure.
Toure is also the author of Who’s Afraid of Post-Blackness? which was named one of the Most Notable Books of 2011 by the New York Times and the Washington Post. His writing has also appeared in the New York Times, the New Yorker, The Source, and more.
Toure’s current podcast “Touré Show” is a chart-topping podcast where he has interviewed Morgan Freeman, Rihanna, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Susan Rice and others.
He lives in Fort Greene, Brooklyn with his wife and two children.
I hope to work again and again with Worldwide Speakers Group on the selection of our keynote and endnote speakers for our annual conference and other events. Our representative and her associate were terrific from my first communication to them until our speaking-event concluded... It is easy to see why many of the top speakers in the country work with Worldwide Speakers Group.
