Hip-hop music is listened to by almost 2 billion people worldwide. From its origins in a place of poverty, hip-hop has grown into a high stakes multi-billion-dollar industry.

In this book, Drs Becky Inkster and Akeem Sule, co-founders of Hip-Hop Psych and life-long fans of hip-hop music and culture, use hip-hop lyrics from across the genre’s 50-year history as a medium to consider the evolving interplay between financial factors and mental health against a backdrop of socio-political events.
