BOOK - Territories of rap

Across the continents of the rap planet When you rap, you come from somewhere. More than in any other musical genre, the location from which he raps influences the artist, his sound and his lyrics. This ultra local music has become one of the symbols of cultural globalization. It is above all an artistic expression in perpetual reinvention, rich in many influences in all corners of the world. Whether it is a building in New York, a record store in Tokyo, a vacant lot in Paris, a new town in Senegal, a television set in Seoul or a park in Tehran, each place tells a different rap. By presenting more than a hundred portraits of places and artists, from Tupac Shakur to Orelsan, from Wu Tang Clan to Cardi B., from Bad Bunny to El General via Eminem, Akon, NTM, IAM, The Fugees ... and by offering a playlist for everyone, Territoires du rap draws a world map of this music in all its peculiarities and all its riches. From city to city, a unique and fascinating world rap history is being written in the background.
