H.R (born Paul Hudson, now also known as Ras Hailu Gabriel Joseph I.). is the former front man for the punk/thrash metal group Bad Brains. A devout Rastafarian, H.R.'s songs, a seamless blend of singing, rap and African chanting, demand social and economic equality and an end to oppression and racism. He got his start with the Washington, D.C.-based Bad Brains, and sang with them through the '80s.
