“Quick, late word about @PsalmOne's book, 'Her Word Is Bond: Navigating Hip Hop & Relationships in a Culture of Misogyny.' There aren't enough books about growing up queer and in love with hip-hop or about the struggles talented women face in the culture. This is that. Big rec.” (from X)
“Nowhere near famous but still infamous,” Psalm One is a legend to rap nerds, scholars, and “heads,” and has gone on to work with the brightest names in rap and have her work celebrated and taught around the globe. In Her Word Is Bond, Psalm One tells her own story, from growing up in Englewood, Chicago through her life as a chemist, teacher, and legendary rapper. Intrinsically feminist, this story is a celebration of the life and career of one artist who blazed the trail for women in hip hop.
