Enongo Ahou Lumumba-Kasongo[1] (born March 20, 1986), known as Sammus (often stylized as SΔMMUS), is an American underground rapper, former teacher, and record producer.

[3] Her parents, both professors, moved her family to Ithaca, New York, at an early age, her mother teaching at Cornell University and her father at Wells College.

[14][15] Sammus' influences started with her older brother Disashi (currently a member of Gym Class Heroes), who exposed her both to video games and alternative rock bands like Weezer and Nirvana.

In various interviews and social media, Sammus has clarified that she doesn't identify herself as a nerdcore rapper, and instead prefers the term "Afrofuturism" to refer to her video-game centered music because it requires an engagement with her Blackness.

She has performed at the SXSW Music Festival since 2015, the Penny Arcade Expo (PAX East) in 2015, Geek Girl Con in 2014 and 2015 with plans to return in 2016.
