Through extensive research- including exclusive interviews with rap artists such as Run DMC, Da Beatminerz, The Force MDs, Phat Kat, MC Spice, DJ DATKID, and the Hawaiian group Sudden Rush-our contributing authors highlight the importance of place and region to hip hop identity, showcase the pioneers who brought hip hop to each region, and profile the hip hop artists who created styles all their own by developing slang, fashion styles, and musical and lyrical structures meant to represent their hometowns. This two-volume set is organized into broad regions of East Coast, West Coast, Midwest, and Dirty South, and each chapter is dedicated to showcasing the history of the local scene, through the MCs, DJs, b-boys and b-girls, label owners, hip hop clubs, and radio shows that have created distinct styles of hip hop culture. Hip Hop in America: A Regional Guide profiles 23 local hip hop scenes across the United States, from the Bronx to Honolulu.
