Revised 2024- Focuses on Chicano/Latino influences of the Hip Hop Movement. The book documents early Chicano/Latino rap evolution and analyzes its role in violence among young people. The Author was involved in the late 1970s Hip Hop scene and watched it spread from New York City to cities like Seattle and Los Angeles. While it started out as an alternative to gang culture and was supported by many people in the community including probation officers and gang intervention workers, some rappers gravitated towards gangster rap, they glorified violence. The Author describes how this music has influenced society in negative and positive ways.
