Abstract

Abstract: When thinking about elements of hip-hop culture, it is important to include cultural brokers and key practitioners in the conversation, so that the culture does not become divorced from the conversations about it. To talk about hip-hop DJ culture, one should include a verified hip-hop DJ who is established in the culture. This interview is conducted with Krystal 'DJ Shorty Wop' Baez.
