48 Hills is stoked to partner with music (and food!) writer Tamara Palmer on Music Book Club, featuring tremendous authors talking about their books on music legends.
The first Music Book Club interview, from last Sunday, offered loads of fascinating anecdotes and ideas from Dan Charnas, author of acclaimed 2022 bestseller Dilla Time: The Life and Afterlife of J Dilla, the Hip-Hop Producer Who Reinvented Rhythm. He spoke about Dilla’s revolutionary sounds, his complicated and sometimes violent personal life, and how he wrote the book, conducting almost 200 interviews.
