Graf in China...
NOTE :: I'm reposting this as all the links are now active. Got more pieces in the clip to unload on you in the coming weeks! Enjoy...
ORIGINAL POST (10/24) :: I know I've been out of the mix for a minute. Mainly I've been writing like crazy over the past few months--on a number of pieces, some of which I've been pitching for years--and so now the universe is starting to bear fruit.
Here's the first, an article for Foreign Policy on the globalization of hip-hop and some of its implications.
BONUS BEATS (10/30) :: Here are more links from the good people at FP...
+ A sidebar by the great S. Craig Watkins.
+ A Q+A with Dana Burton, hip-hop artist/promoter in China.
+ Video from China's Iron Mic contest.
There was much much more stuff that we unfortunately had to lose in the edit, especially about the history of hip-hop in Brasil. I may post that here shortly. In the meantime, I'm back on the road for the final run of the year. Hit me here with any thoughts you might have...
