Description
Crybaby: The Artists Who Shaped Emo Rap is a comprehensive exploration of the genre that emerged from suburban malaise. From its inception to its mainstream ascension, this book examines the critical artists who defined its sound and ethos. The rise of Emo Rap was marked by a shift in the texture of contemporary hip-hop, with artists like Kid Cudi pioneering a new sound that would come to symbolize a changing of the guard. As the genre evolved, it became increasingly visceral, with artists like Lil Peep and XXXTentacion capturing the angst and vulnerability of young people. Through its examination of key figures and events, Crybaby reveals the complex network of reposts, comments, and word-of-mouth that allowed Emo Rap to bubble up nationally. This book provides a nuanced understanding of a genre born from feelings of isolation and disconnection, and its enduring impact on popular music.
