The plays are accompanied by two introductory essays: The first gives a specific social and historical context that helps readers make sense of the plays, the second positions hip hop as a contemporary literary form and offers some ways to read hip hop texts as literature. The collection also includes a foreword by leading hip hop theatre practitioner Jonzi D, interviews with the Beats & Elements company, and a glossary of words for students and international readers.

Anmeldelser
«A show with something to say, and a stylish way of saying it.»
The Stage (on High Rise Estate of Mind)
«If there were thousands more like Murray who managed to ‘breakthrough’ from a working class background to the mainstream Arts, the landscape would be very different to what it is today.»
Breaking the Fourth Wall
«Its dramatic authenticity is pitch perfect.»
