Great piece, Andrew. Hip hop has influenced my life and my nascent writing career in a big way as well.
I just finished the first draft of my second attempt at a novel and I infused hip hop references throughout. Ultimately, I settled on 36 chapters -- an homage to 36 Chambers -- and named each chapter after a nineties hip hop song. Taken together, the song titles mimic the entire narrative arc of the novel.

Thank you, Arman! Glad it resonated with you. Sounds like a dope concept for a book, best of luck with it! And yes, looking forward to your future posts. I always love me some humor. Thanks for the subscribe.
