The Journal for Hip Hop Studies (JHHS) is committed to publishing critically engaged, culturally relevant, and astute analyses of Hip Hop. Submissions should emphasize Hip Hop’s relationship to race, ethnicity, nationalism, class, gender, sexuality, justice and equality, politics, communication, religion, and popular culture. JHHS also explores the intersections of the sacred and profane for a better understanding of spirituality and religious discourses within the Hip Hop community.

Rest in Peace DMX. Born Earl Simmons, DMX has a long successful discography that left a phenomenal mark on the genre. In his interview with Drink Champs in February of 2021 he said, “If I was to drop dead right now, my last thought would be: I’ve lived a good life." It's with this that remember his creativity and joy.
