They Can't Kill Us Until They Kill Us by Hanif Abdurraqib

In a collection of essays published by the New York Times, MTV, and Pitchfork, among others – along with original, previously unreleased essays – Hanif Abdurraqib explores the political, social, racial condition of our world today through the language of music and culture. From discussions over public displays of affection at a Carly Rae Jepsen show to the everyday threats to the lives of black Americans, including his own, Abdurraqib provides a lens through which to view our world, so that we might better understand ourselves, and in so doing proves himself a bellwether for our times.
'Abdurraqib's writing is an antidote to the arched eyebrow of most music journalismHe writes with a sincerity that makes his subjects fallible. He writes as if music matters.' Nikesh Shukla, Observer
