CONTAINS A BOOKPLATE SIGNED BY THE GRANDMASTER HIS SELF
More than fifty years ago Joseph Saddler, a curious 'kid scientist' from the Bronx, set out to experiment with sound. That kid grew up to become Grandmaster Flash, a pioneer who, alongside other legends, laid the foundation for what would become hip-hop and reshaped American music and culture forever.
Birth of a Culture is the definitive, chronological account of the genre's origins and its evolution into a global phenomenon, from the DJ's creation of the Quik Mix Theory to the formation of Grandmaster Flash and the 3 MCs and beyond. Flash's story captures the iconic rise of one of the most significant cultural contributions of our time.
