"Patrick Neate sets off to discover if the music and culture that mean so much to him have retained true cultural vitality and significance anywhere in the world. Covering five continents and cities as diverse as New York and Rio, Tokyo and Johannesburg, Neate talks to artists and producers, lifelong fans and recent converts - and what he finds is never what he expects." "The Bronx-born music and culture has woven itself into the local urban cultures of the distant corners of the globe in different, consistently surprising, and provocative ways. What is a cliche in one city is revolutionary in another, and completely meaningless in yet another; at every stop, Neate discovers hip-hop reinventing itself and the way it's understood - internationally, locally, and individually. Where You're At is a global tour of a small planet, with hip-hop, in all its multifarious forms, as the main character."--BOOK JACKET.
