Description

Third Coast: OutKast, Timbaland, and How Hip-Hop Became a Southern Thing is the definitive cultural and musical history of this most American of pop music genres.

From the crime-ridden wards of New Orleans to the upscale suburbs of Atlanta, from the secluded outpost of Virginia Beach to the international hub of Miami—plus all the small Southern towns in between—Third Coast chronicles the artists, labels, and communities that rewrote the script on how hip-hop could sound, signify, and get sold.
