    Immerse yourself in the dynamic world of 90s hip-hop with "The History of Hip Hop: Volume 3." This compact yet comprehensive guide by Eric Reese travels back to a critical decade that saw the genre evolve from its roots into an art form influencing millions around the world. Journey through the crowded streets of New York City, where groups like A Tribe Called Quest and Wu-Tang Clan were changing the game, to the sun-soaked boulevards of Los Angeles, where artists like Dr. Dre and Tupac were making their mark.

    Reese's informative guide not only maps the geography of 90s hip-hop but also charts the cultural, political, and racial landscapes that shaped and were shaped by the genre. As the bling era dawned and hip-hop became a global business, its effects reverberated far beyond the music world, influencing fashion, film, and the broader popular culture.

    • East Coast vs West Coast: The legendary rivalry that defined a decade

    • The Birth of Gangsta Rap: How a new sub-genre changed everything

    • The Influence of Record Labels: The rise of Death Row Records and Bad Boy Records
    • Social and Political Impact: How hip-hop gave a voice to the voiceless

    Dive deep into the complex narratives of an era that redefined musical expression, pioneering a sonic revolution that resonates to this day. From legendary artists like Notorious B.I.G., Nas, Queen Latifah, to influential groups like Public Enemy and De La Soul, explore the golden age of hip-hop and its enduring legacy. 

    "The History of Hip Hop: Volume 3" chronicles a remarkable decade of creativity, diversity, controversy and, above all, timeless music. Experience the beat, the rhythm, and the resistance that made the 90s hip-hop scene a cultural touchstone.

    "Every book I write goes into uncharted territories others won't pen."   About me: I'm Eric Reese, born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I've worked as a community organizer, educator, graphic design, human services and a number of other fields.  I'm the recipient of the first Mayoral Scholarship of Philadelphia (1993), the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers Human Relations Award (1989) and a few other awards and scholarships nationally and globally.  I've always had an interest in writing especially from the old-journal-in-the-morning days as many of my books today reflect my experiences here and abroad.  When I have time for myself, I love traveling, mediating and researching new marketing tactics. One of my weirdest experiences was when I once lived on a top roof in an apartment building in Beirut for a few weeks until I found somewhere to stay during the war in Afghanistan. Every night, I'd listen to BBC radio and hear the chaos while not be detected.  Some say that my lively and energetic character has made me many friends across the world. I really hope so; with many friends come many enemies. In the future, I'd love to own a large home somewhere in a quiet peaceful spacious area where my neighbors are not close but not far. Now I live wherever is called home at the time in hopes of achieving my goal one of these days. You can contact me at feekness@gmail.com
