This volume explores the pedagogical and transformative potential of writing lyrics. Based on an autoethnographic study, and inspired by Ivani?'s notion of writer identity, it explores how writing can nurture different aspects of a student's identity, allowing them to connect and engage with their social and community background. Through an analysis of the author's lived experiences as a Black male educator and author, Hip Hop lyricist, and curriculum writer, it details how the lyrics of Hip Hop artists served as educational experiences in his journey towards becoming a Hip Hop artist and educator, as well as how he developed his experiences into a template for his students to follow through programs such as Hip Hop Literacy.

A unique and engaging exploration of lyricism, this book explores themes such as building positive classroom relationships, self-actualization, self-expression, skill acquisition, and culturally relevant and sustaining pedagogy. It will be of interest to researchers and educators involved in alternative literacy practices, Hip Hop education, autoethnography, and curriculum studies.
