If our recent US Gospel Hip Hop overview (CR31) whetted your appetite on the rap revolution, this fax'n'info feast will give you the stuff you crave. Contact details of 300 US rap/hip hop acts; artist profiles on 20 or so of the major exponents; potted histories of the rise of the music; and even a map locating where all the gospel hip hoppers hang out (not surprisingly California has by far the biggest number of holy hip hoppers). Format isn't very user friendly but as a vital information resource this is a pioneering work.
