The DJ Is Precedent argues that hip-hop culture can bring more people to the expanding field of technical communication as it charts a path following its social justice turn.

Through an archival study, Victor J. Del Hierro traces the social constructs of 1990s Houston hip-hip culture in local communities through the development of screwed and chopped hip hop as it became a new and distinct style. Then, the book theorizes the hip-hop DJ as a model for the technical communicator. Grounded in call-and-response, the hip-hop DJ teaches us to reorient our communication to focus on audience connection and to value community-based audience participation in communicative spaces.
