Hip-hop is more than just music, it’s a cultural movement. Outside the Lyrics explores its sub-cultures through the stories of artistic pioneers who helped shape and remix hip-hop’s history. In this three-part digital short series, artists share with host Dr. Taj Frazier how they navigate their craft, where they draw their inspiration, and the people and neighborhoods that influenced them.
