Synopsis
This masterpiece takes its readers from Hip Hop s ancient origin, to its modern day Matrix. Never before has a book been written about Hip Hop through the spiritual scope of the culture, or has examined the culture from a mystical perspective. The Black Dot cleverly accomplishes both, while providing plenty of fuel for conspiracy theorist. Hip Hop Decoded reveals that Hip Hop is far deeper than just beats and rhymes, and masterfully illustrates that each element of Hip Hop (Graffiti, DJ, Emcee, and B-Boy) has an ancient origin (hieroglyphics, drummer, oracle, and dancer), as well as, spiritual significance (earth, air, fire, and water). Knowledge is the fifth and most sacred element of Hip Hop, however, the most misunderstood. The Black Dot has compiled the most comprehensive study of the subject in book form. Hip Hop Decoded is the red pill for those looking to escape from the Matrix of Hip Hop, and begin the journey to uncover the truth about the culture. The foreword to the book was written by legend and Live Rhyme Master, Grandmaster Caz.

About the Author
Born and raised on the streets of the Bronx, The Black Dot has been fortunate enough to witness the birth of Hip Hop. At an early age, he was initiated into the art form and has been a practitioner ever since. He released his first album in 1988, under the infamous B-Boy Records label as the lead Emcee of the rap group, Tall, Dark, and Handsome. In 1994, as a member of the underground rap group the Lethahedz, he released an independent EP called, A & R Killers, Da Hip Hop Play; which uncovered many of the injustices that are still relevant in the industry today. He also toured the world as the hype man for Tim Dog, a Bronx legend in Hip Hop. Today, The Black Dot does lectures on the science of Hip Hop at universities, bookstores, and street corners. He is a contributing writer of 4 Korners, an underground Hip Hop newspaper, and is currently working on his next book.
