Robert D. Jackson also known as BABA RUEROB is an actor and recording artist based in Houston, Texas. After graduating from NYU last December, Jackson has made a commitment to deeply invest in arts community of Houston.  

This November, Robert D. Jackson will be premiering his autobiographical one-man show BABA & ME: A Young Man in Search of His Father. Jackson’s father, Big Rue, was a member of the DJ Screw Collective: Screwed Up Click and lost his life to gun violence in January 1999. 20 years later, his son, continues his father’s legacy with a hip hop musical performance incorporating heightened language and poetry. In addition to the one-man show, Jackson will be hosting a community event for community leaders, students, and politicians to share their thoughts on gun violence in Houston. Jackson has performed several iterations of this show in New York City, Los Angeles, and Johannesburg.

This year, Jackson has hosted a libation ceremony dedicated to his father, a Stop The Violence Party in Midtown on the historical June 27th Houston hip-hop holiday, and has hosted several workshops providing free scholarship tips and advice to high school students in Houston.
