Novocaine: The Birth of Seattle Rap, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

From the Seattle streets to studio beats.

In the early 1980s, a subterranean shift in Seattle's music scene began. Disco's reign over parties and dance clubs faded, and hip-hop became the new attraction. A generation of young musicians emerged, and local rappers catapulted the genre into the spotlight. From Sir Mix-A-Lot, who won a Grammy in 1993, to Silver Chain Gang and Jam Delight, the Emerald City produced some incredible talent. These formative years of hip-hop set the tone for the decades that followed, and this once-fledgling music still resonates in pop culture today.

Author and producer Novocaine132 explores Seattle's early rap artists and their groundbreaking sound.
