• BK, a Hip-Hop artist from the notorious 'City of God' slums in Brazil who has had his music videos watched more times than the population of Brazil.
• Prabh Deep, who produced a record in New Delhi, India in a room with no windows and with very little money, to then get to number 1 on the ITunes chart.

• Kobie Dee, an Aboriginal Hip-Hop artist in Australia 
  
• Jords, the first UK rapper to sign to Motown Records, being interviewed at an anti-knife crime charity in South London
• And more celebrated artists from Italy, Sweden, New York City, London, Manchester and Amsterdam.

Hip-Hopulation is the first book in the history of Hip-Hop to unite the global artists around the world. The book is filled with stories of hope, struggle and passion from artists who lead change in their community, while being told throughout by an independent artist sharing his own stories of rising from living in race riots in a small working class town to shooting no budget music videos with immigrants on estates to standing on stage with Wu-Tang Clan and making a music video for a record that Jay-Z sampled on the title track to his last album.

Whether you are a fan of the culture, or you want to discover new stories of courage and hope around the world, Hip-Hopulation invites you to a world of change.
