About This Document: The book defines hip hop as "a genre that emerged in the 1980s [,] breaking ranks with previous styles [and combining] elements of local, popular musical traditions with mostly American and Jamaican musical styles of rap and raga" (viii). Hip hop has also helped break the culture of silence surrounding sexuality and HIV/ AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections, one of the leading health challenges in the region. By means of metaphor and colloquial language, artists address topical issues such as HIV prevention, testing, management, care, and stigma, and they also engage in practical preventive activities such as condom distribution during music shows.
