Overview

My project is a video essay that addresses  how rap music talks about mental health as well as social issues. It is focussed on rappers like Kendrick Lamar, Slick Rick, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, and Joey Bada$$.  This video essay reflects on lyrics of their music and compares it to statistical information from the time. In addition, it speaks on the importance of addressing social issues and how their musics affects the culture around them.
