Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"A culturally rich topography of Black Houston and its heritage. . . . Wilkins' work stands out for its closeness to the ground, its rootedness in the city's people and places. Welcome 2 Houston goes well beyond the beats and rhymes, and even the cars. It's a lived-in academic portrait of a part of the city often overlooked, a community that, through trials and triumphs, is still tippin'." --Houston Chronicle
“In Welcome 2 Houston, Langston Collin Wilkins examines hip hop’s deep connections to space, place, and heritage by weaving interviews, observations, and his own Houston upbringing into a richly informative and emotionally resonant work about an essential part of Black Americana.”--Eric Harvey, author of Who Got the Camera? A History of Rap and Reality
