Hip-Hop Is Only for Children

The book, Hip Hop is Only for Children is a non-fictional work that shows the author’s personal perspective on the Hip Hop culture, especially as it is portrayed in Nigeria and her music, written from the point of view of a critical insider who has lived his life listening to and appreciating a vast blend of music genres ranging from the fore-bearers of Nigeria’s music industry – Celestine Ukwu, Onyeka Onwenu, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, Sugar Hill Gang, Kris Okotie (yes, the “swagged-out” hair perming clergy), Junior and Pretty, Dizzy K, Oby Onyioha, Christie Essien-Igbokwe to mention a few – to the more recent pioneers like Davido, Wizkid, Flavour, Asa, Nneka, Orliam e.t.c, and even relatively unknown artistes like Kid M.A.R.L.E.Y, Boogie, Aduke, e.t.c – a further testimony of the great attention paid to detail and the author’s true zeal and interest in the Nigerian hip hop/music industry.
