Description

In Breaks in the Air John Klaess tells the story of raps emergence on New York Citys airwaves by examining how artists and broadcasters adapted hip hops performance culture to radio. Initially artists and DJs brought their live practice to radio by buying time on lowbandwidth community stations and building new communities around their shows. Later stations owned by New Yorks African American elite such as WBLS reluctantly began airing rap even as they pursued a sound rooted in respectability urban sophistication and polish.
