"Featuring a forward by Swizz Beatz"--Cover. |
| Summary |
PA generation voicing stories, hopes, and fears founds a hip-hop nation. Say holler if you hear. The roots of rap and the history of hip-hop have origins that precede DJ Kool Herc and Grandmaster Flash. Kids will learn about how it evolved from folktales, spirituals, and poetry, to the showmanship of James Brown, to the culture of graffiti art and break dancing that formed around the art form and gave birth to the musical artists we know today. With lyrical rhythms by award-winning author and poet Carole Boston Weatherford, vibrant illustrations by Frank Morrison, and a forword by acclaimed musician Swizz Beatz, this book beautifully illustrates that hip-hop is a language spoken the whole world 'round. |
