Since then he has refined his natural ability to tell stories through rhymes, theatre, film and storytelling as he still continues building his network within African and other multicultural communities in Australia.

Ez Eldin Deng is a talented man with multiple skills especially in filmmaking, acting and rapping with African Hip hop artist with Future of Rap under Creative Rebellion Youth.
