M-1 Biography

M-1, aka Mutulu Olugabala is a rapper, activist and author known for his work as one half of the political hip hop duo Dead Prez along with his life long friend Stic.man aka Clayton Gavin. His choice of the name "M-1" is likely a reference to the semi-automatic carbine.

M-1's first solo album Confidential was released on March 21, 2006 through Sotti/Koch Records. Following Confidential M-1 worked on the album Can't Sell Dope Forever by Dead Prez/Outlawz

M-1 is also featured in the UK documentary, Guilty or Innocent of Using the N Word. He can also be seen acting in Chappelle's Show comedy sketches. He plays the voice of the cartoon character Huey P Newt in the Three Thug Mice cartoon [http://threethugmice.com] .

In July 2009, M-1 accompanied the Viva Palestina convoy, delivering desperately needed humanitarian supplies to the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
