A profound meditation on hip hop's transformative power, In the Hour of Chaos takes us deep into the mind of the genre's most unabashed revolutionary.

This book is not an autobiography. It's not a manifesto. It's a razor-shart investigation into hip hop and rap music by searing lyricist and global music icon Chuck D of Public Enemy.

Engaging with some of the world's leading thinkers on hip hop, "Professor Chuck" sets out on a journey that celebrates fifty years of hip hop and charts paths forward for its future. Exploring the intersections of hip hop with Black radicalism and feminism, media and technology, and globalization and politics, this curated collection shows the power of culture and the arts not only to bring people together but to bring about political change in this current hour of chaos.
