The Plot Against Hip Hop: a Novel (The D Hunter Mysteries, Book 1) Nelson George Unabridged edition

This rewrite of hiphop history mixes reallife figures with characters pulled from the culture's hidden world, including Jay Z, Kanye West, and Russell Simmons.

The Plot against Hip Hop is a noir novel set in the world of hiphop culture. The fatal stabbing of esteemed music critic Dwayne Robinson in a Soho office building is dismissed by the NYPD as a gang initiation. But his old friend, bodyguard and security expert D Hunter, suspects there are larger forces at work. D Hunter's investigation into his mentor's murder leads into a parallel history of hip hop, a place where renegade government agents, behindthescenes power brokers, and paranoid journalists know a truth that only a few hardcore fans suspect.
