About this book

Don't Sweat the Technique equips aspiring performers, musical artists, singers, and hobbyists with the tools and knowledge needed to become a better rapper. Written in simple language and filled with many exercises, this book helps build techniques and unlocks solutions to common stumbling blocks that make people afraid to rap. It includes exclusive advice from dozens of MCs who share their approaches and give further insight into mastering the craft.
Part one provides an introduction to hip-hop history—the birth of the genre, how it reflects African American experience and culture, major influencers in the industry, different subgenres and styles, and check points towards finding your authentic self in rap. Part two provides a tapestry of exercises, methods of practice, and practical tips that help with breath support, posture, diction, rhythm and flow, storytelling and delivery techniques, mic techniques, vocal health, and much more. After reading this book, you'll not only improve your rapping, but you'll also have something to say that will make people want to listen.
