MIC CHECK ONE TWO, ONE TWO

As we conclude our celebration of Black Music Month and hip-hop’s 50th, we’re delighted to present this playlist as a companion to our recent special issue. Compiled by our own Kyle Eustice, it offers both an overview of the genre’s evolution and deeper context for the stories we selected—from Afrika Bambaataa, Kendrick Lamar and Ice Cube to A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul and Tyler, The Creator. Bump it.
