Summary
Grammy winning family hip-hop artist Secret Agent 23 Skidoo’s rhyme-writing workshop will get aspiring rhymers ready for the limelight. Skidoo breaks down song writing and performing basics into easy-to-follow examples alongside short chapters featuring cultures that have songs at their core, including West African griots, Australian indigenous songline culture, and Viking rhyme battling.
This unique combination of how-to and history showcases musicians and singers performing traditional styles, then flips them into contemporary hip-hop songs celebrating their cultures. With an opening chapter and original music by hip-hop founding father Grandmaster Caz of the Cold Crush Brothers, Word is Born is full of techniques and tales that will help you sing your own song.
