The hip-hop history they didn't teach you in school! 
Beats from the Streets: DJ Pioneers and the Birth of Hip Hop is an educational graphic novel taking young readers (ages 10–14 / grades 5–8) into the 1970s NYC street culture that started a global movement. Guided by young hosts DJs Lena and Jax, readers explore how urban youth used creativity, math, and engineering to transform music from scratch.
  Key Features Inside:
  • Pioneer Spotlights: Profiles on legends like Kool Herc, Grandmaster Flash, Grandmaster Flowers, Pete DJ Jones, Afrika Bambaataa, and Grand Wizzard Theodore.
  • STEM Connections: Interactive "Tech Talk" sections breaking down how early DJs hacked equipment, wired streetlights for power, and mastered audio tools.
  • Rich Cultural History: Insights into the Four Pillars of Hip Hop, the Jamaican sound system blueprint, and the 1977 NYC blackout.
  • Interactive Elements: Visual glossaries, DJ trivia, and built-in Spotify playlists to listen to the historical tracks as you read!
Written and illustrated by Stephen Neverson, this vibrant comic celebrates the ingenuity of the NYC neighborhood legends who built a movement.
