Posthuman Rap listens for the ways contemporary rap maps an
existence outside the traditional boundaries of what it means to be
human. Contemporary humanity is shaped in neoliberal terms, where
being human means being viable in a capitalist marketplace that
favors whiteness, masculinity, heterosexuality, and fixed gender
identities. But musicians from Nicki Minaj to Future to Rae
Sremmurd deploy queerness and sonic blackness as they imagine
different ways of being human. Building on the work of Sylvia
Wynter, Alexander Weheliye, Lester Spence, LH Stallings, and a
broad swath of queer and critical race theory, Posthuman Rap turns
an ear especially toward hip hop that is often read as apolitical
in order to hear its posthuman possibilities, its construction of a
humanity that is blacker, queerer, more feminine than the norm.
