Description
Bounce Rap Music and Local Identity in New Orleans explores the ways in which participants in New Orleans's hip-hop scene have collectively established, contested, and revised a distinctive style of rap that exists at the intersection of deeply rooted vernacular music traditions and the modern, globalized economy of commercial popular music. This book examines the cultural continuity that underpins New Orleans rap, tracing its roots back to the city's rich musical and cultural heritage. The author considers how the genre reflects the creativity and resilience of the city's poor and working-class African Americans, as well as the intense aesthetic and economic competition that characterises grassroots expressive culture in the city. By shedding light on this dynamic and evolving scene, Bounce Rap Music and Local Identity in New Orleans offers a nuanced understanding of the ways in which music can be both a product of its time and a reflection of enduring cultural traditions.
