In 1994, Tricia Rose became one of the earliest hip hop documentarians in the book market with her seminal book “Black Noise: Rap Music and Black Culture in Contemporary America.”
Since then, the exploration of hip hop music, culture and biographies and odes to iconic artists like Tupac Shakur, has expanded into a viable topic in the major book market.
A few notable hip hop books, all biographies and memoirs, were published in the first half of 2022, and they are all continuing to lay the groundwork for an explosion in hip hop literary interest. “DJ Screw: A Life in Slow Revolution” comes as a follow-up to Lance Scott Walker’s “Houston Rap Tapes,” a photo book about Houston’s hip hop culture. Walker does scrupulous research in the form of a broad span of interviews with nearly everyone who knew the seminal Houston DJ, DJ Screw. Known for his unforgettable style “chopped and screwed” where he collaborated with local rappers who rhymed over his beats, then proceeded to slow the songs he created down dramatically.
