In this episode I speak to Dr. Anthony Kwame Harrison. As a professor at Virginia Tech, Kwame has spent his career researching and writing on the Bay Area hip-hop scene, as well as ethnography and Africana studies more broadly. We discuss his 2009 publication Hip Hop Underground: The Integrity and Ethics of Racial Identification, as well as his article 'Cheaper than a CD, Plus We Really Mean It': Bay Area Underground Hip Hop Tapes as Subcultural Artefacts.
