The term Edutainment combines “education” and “entertainment” and reflects the idea of using entertainment as a means to educate and inform people about social and political issues.

In the album, Boogie Down Productions, led by rapper KRS-One, addressed various social and political topics such as racism, poverty, violence, and the importance of education. They sought to educate listeners about these issues through their music while also entertaining them with catchy beats and rhymes.
