This book explores an important aspect of hip-hop that is rarely
considered: its deep entanglement with spiritual life. The world of
hip-hop is saturated with religion, but rarely is that element
given serious consideration. In Street Scriptures, Alejandro Nava
focuses our attention on this aspect of the music and culture in a
fresh way, combining his profound love of hip-hop, his passion for
racial and social justice, and his deep theological knowledge.
Street Scriptures offers a refreshingly earnest and beautifully
written journey through hip-hop's deep entanglement with the
sacred. Nava analyzes the religious heartbeat in hip-hop, looking
at crosscurrents of the sacred and profane in rap, reggaeton, and
Latinx hip-hop today. Ranging from Nas, Kendrick Lamar, Chance the
Rapper, Lauryn Hill, and Cardi B to St. Augustine and William
James, Nava examines the ethical-political, mystical-prophetic, and
theological qualities in hip-hop, probing the pure sonic and
aesthetic signatures of music, while also diving deep into the
voices that invoke the spirit of protest. The result is nothing
short of a new liberation theology for our time, what Nava calls a
"street theology."
