Tales From Hip-Hop, Volume 1 + Digital Liner Notes Bundle
Musicians have always included liner notes with their records for a reason. Once you heard the album, you wanted to know what went into it. This bundle brings that same tradition to fiction. Read the collection, then read the notes. The bundle keeps both pieces together so the fiction stays fresh when you open the companion. The choices behind each story, the songs, and the narratives themselves hit different when you can see the storytelling DNA of hip-hop running through the fiction.
Tales From Hip-Hop, Volume 1 is the collection. Ten works of fiction that descend from ten hip-hop songs, written by Lamont Walker. Fiction that belongs to both sides of the family, carrying the density and voice of the music into the room where literature lives.
Liner Notes is the companion. Written for readers who finished the collection and came back for more. In each entry, Lamont Walker traces how a specific song became a specific story, naming the exact objects the story inherited, the structural moves it borrowed, and the moments where the fiction picks up what the song had to leave behind. The full document runs across all ten stories in the volume, giving each one the room it needs to open up.
Read the book first. Read the notes second. Bundle both for the full experience.
Volume 1 ships as a physical paperback. The Liner Notes are delivered digitally, available for download immediately after purchase while the book is on its way.
