Key Change is a conversation series within Song Exploder, where I talk to fascinating people about the music that's transformed them.
My guest today is
Hanif Abdurraqib, a poet, cultural critic, and New York Times bestselling author of books like
They Can't Kill us Until They Kill Us, Go Ahead in the Rain: Notes to A Tribe Called Quest, and
A Little Devil in America, which won the Andrew Carnegie medal for nonfiction. I've been a guest on Hanif's podcast,
Object of Sound, and I just love reading and hearing his thoughts about music. When I first started toying with the idea for this Key Change series, I was specifically excited about the idea that it could give me the chance to have Hanif on as a guest.
