[Nigel Webber](http://www.instagram.com/makingplansfornigel/) is a local writer and the author of the upcoming book [Gritty City](http://www.instagram.com/grittycitywpg/), an oral history of Winnipeg hip-hop.

We talked about the ambitious project, the wide range of artists he has interviewed already, some of the long-lost Winnipeg rap records he has yet to hear, and more!

Get a taste of Nigel’s project in this month's Stylus Magazine, which includes his hard-to-argue-with [list of Winnipeg’s top 100 rap songs](http://ckuw.ca/stylus/2020/10/06/winnipeg-state-of-mind-top-100-winnipeg-hip-hop-songs/).
