Welcome to Planet Pope Media – where education meets inspiration, and music becomes a catalyst for positive change.

 

Founded by Bryan Pope, a Chicago Public Schools educator and inspirational rapper, Planet Pope Media represents the powerful intersection of teaching and artistry. By day, Bryan shapes young minds in the classroom. By night, he crafts beats and bars that inspire self-love, cultural empowerment, and educational excellence.
