Rap on Trial

Book • 2019
Rap on Trial explores how rap lyrics are increasingly used as evidence in criminal cases, often leading to the conviction and incarceration of young men of color.

The book critiques this practice, arguing it undermines First Amendment rights and perpetuates systemic racial biases.

It provides a critical analysis of the intersection between hip-hop and the legal system, advocating for a more nuanced understanding of artistic expression.
