Draft:Roy Christopher (author)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Roy Christopher (born 1970) is an American media theorist, writer, author, poet, and illustrator. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin where he did his dissertation on the use of allusions in rap lyrics.[1] Dan Hancox at The Guardian described his book Dead Precedents: How Hip-Hop Defines the Future (Repeater Books, 2019) as "Written with the passion of a zine-publishing fan and the acuity of an academic (he is both), Christopher explores the idea of hip-hop as 'black cyberpunk'."[2]
