WOMEN BEHIND THE MIC:

Curators of The Culture

Volume Two "The Hip-Hop Edition"

Volume Two "The Hip-Hop Edition" from the WOMEN BEHIND THE MIC series contains the stories of 21 veteran executives who were the engines behind the most iconic artists and brands of all time. As the 50th Anniversary of Hip-Hop is being celebrated, the women who worked behind the scenes have been glaringly absent. These women quietly toiled in the trenches and have curated what is known as Pop Culture. Today, these "Sheroes" who championed The Culture of a genre no one expected to last -so much so- that Hip-Hop is now classified as the most-listened-to-genre globally! Propelled by a sisterhood that personifies excellence and the importance of maintaining a positive self-esteem while working in a male-dominated industry, the Women Behind The Mic(TM) share their stories of handling business for some of the biggest names and brands in entertainment. Queen Latifah, TLC, Tupac, The Notorious B.I.G., Rakim, and DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince are just a few of the names found on these pages.
