Educated Rapper (born as Jeffrey Campbell) was a rapper and cofounder of the hip-hop group UTFO, most famous for their song "Roxanne, Roxanne".[1] Educated Rapper originally matriculated from City College of New York before UTFO signed their first record deal with Select Records.[citation needed]

Educated Rapper cultivated an educated, erudite image, humorously contrasting with that of his cohorts. He was born in Hammersmith, a district of London; he moved to Brooklyn, New York, with his Guyanese family at the age of 16.[citation needed] He graduated from the College of New Rochelle in January 2009 as Valedictorian/Magna Cum Laude. He continues to be active in the underground hip-hop scene in conjunction with Mixmaster Ice of UTFO on his Internet radio show, Mixmasterice.com.[citation needed] He is called upon for motivational speaking in public schools expounding on themes and issues that concern today's youth.
