Gabriel Erjok Majer Akon (born c. 1994), known professionally as DyspOra (pronounced "die-spora"), is a South Sudanese-born Australian rapper and activist. He is the founder of the music collective and independent record label Playback 808, and released the 8-track EP, The AustrAlien, in partnership with the not-for-profit organisation Music in Exile in April 2020, after a series of singles and shorter collaborations. He calls his brand of hip hop "Sonic Activism", as he uses his music as a tool to influence social change.
