Local Noise: Hip-Hop and Langauage

[with thanks to language scholar BKL, my brilliant friend and colleague in Washington State]

"Local Noise is an ARC (Australian Research Council) funded project running since 2005 and led by Dr. Tony Mitchell and Prof. Alastair Pennycook from UTS (University of Technology, Sydney). The project’s focus is on Australian hip-hop, and the localisation of hip-hop in different cultural, societal and educational contexts."
