Book Review: The Hip Hop Family Tree by Ed Piskor

The Hip Hop Family Tree
by Ed Piskor (Music 789.1648 Pis)

A fantastic and thorough account of the early developmental years of hip hop. The history is solid, the narrative is engaging, and the art is fantastic. There are four volumes that cover the 1970s to 1985. Best Audience: Teens and adults.
