 Heems told CNN in a mobile phone interview on Wednesday. "This might have occurred any day in the last 10 years. This could have been me .... or any of my little cousins."

 "it's perpetuated via a culture of fear that has outlined the attitude since 9-11,"

 heems said. Heems is from Queens and was an university scholar on Sept. 11, 2001. he is the son of Indian immigrants and has confronted racism in his existence. He addresses identity politics by way of alternative hip-hop.
