Everything Gucci: The Poetic and political economy of Gucci Mane, Noah Angell
Friday 13 November 2015
7pm Lecture-performance, 8.30 – 11pm DJ set
Everything Gucci is a tribute to Gucci Mane, the currently incarcerated Atlanta-based rapper. Gucci’s work details the underground economy of the post-industrial Southern United States. Drawing on a history of labour and song, Angell will present field recordings which position Gucci’s work within the traditions of gospel, country blues, agricultural songs, auctioneering and songs found in juvenile detention centres and prisons. The performance will be followed by a DJ set of contemporary Atlanta rap, also by Noah Angell.
