Notes From Your Bookseller
An expansive history of hip-hop from its kick-off party in the Bronx to its 50th year, celebrated on a global scale — told by a musical pioneer turned book publisher.

When hip-hop first emerged in the 1970s, it wasn't expected to become the cultural force it is today. But for a young Black kid growing up in a musical family in Philadelphia, it was everything. He stayed up late to hear the newest songs on the radio. He saved his money to buy vinyl as soon as it landed. He even started to make his own songs. That kid was Questlove.
