Lavar Pope is Clinical Assistant Professor of Political Science at Arrupe College of Loyola University Chicago, USA. He earned a Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts from Lehigh University and a PhD in Politics from the University of California, Santa Cruz, USA. He has worked as a DJ, Producer, and Sound Engineer in the San Francisco Bay Area and enjoys teaching courses related to the subject of this book, including a course called “Power, Rap, Music and Urban Politics.”

“Pope’s book is an excellent addition to political science and to Hip-Hop studies because his comprehensive text focuses on a specific area where Hip-Hop developed and the sound that was created in that area. Therefore, Rap and Politics is an innovative text that not only presents alternative ways to examine culture within politics but also a unique way to present analyses.” (Lakeyta M Bonnette-Bailey, NRBP, National Review of Black Politics, Vol. 3 (3-4), July-October, 2022)
