“Rap Capital is not only a vivid snapshot of the current seat of cultural power, but about capital itself: how wealth, or the lack of it, starves a community; how the lure of it shapes a culture; and who gets all that money in the end. Joe Coscarelli reports from rooms and spaces few journalists have entered, telling Atlanta’s stories deeply." —DAN CHARNAS, author of Dilla Time: The Life and Afterlife of J Dilla and The Big Payback: The History of the Business of Hip-Hop

“A great American underdog story, full of memorable characters and extraordinary plot twists. Coscarelli is a tireless reporter and a thoughtful guide—this book is required reading for anyone who has ever wondered how, exactly, Atlanta hip-hop took over the world.” —KELEFA SANNEH, author of Major Labels: A History of Popular Music in Seven Genres
