The short life of A.J.A. Symons (1900-41) was described by his biographer as an intricate and largely harmless confidence trick. His many interests included the collection of musical boxes and rare books as well as the study and practice of forgery; they left him time to edit an anthology of Edwardian verse and compose studies of H.M. Stanley and other notable figures. He is remembered for The Quest for Corvo, one of the most remarkable biographies ever written, and for co-founding the Wine and Food Society.

Arguably one of the most mainstream music styles today, rap was in fact born centuries ago in West Africa with historians or &#39;griots&#39; who used to tell stories of the past over the beat of a drum. But it wasn&#39;t until the 1970s in New York that rapping as we know it was born and began to flourish. 50 Rappers Who Changed the World profiles some of the genre&#39;s biggest influencers, from the 1970s until the present day. From groundbreaking groups like Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five and The Sugarhill Gang in the 70s, to Run-DMC and Public Enemy in the 80s, Biggie, Tupac and Snoop in the 90s, and Eminem and Jay-Z in the 00s, this is a history of music for anyone who loves rap. Featuring MCs like West Coast legends including N.W.A. and Ice-T, and countless women who changed the game, like Salt-n-Pepa, MC Lyte and Missy Elliott. And today, we have a new breed of artists who are dominating the charts, from Kendrick Lamar to Drake and Cardi B. Filled with a stylish illustrations and short biography of each artist, this book is a celebration of the musicians who shaped the genre and changed the world.

The Loves, Break-ups and Songs that Have Made History

Biggie Smalls, the iconic face of East Coast gangsta rap, is considered by many to have been the greatest rapper of all time. His deep voice, effortless flow, vulnerable storytelling and the window he offered into hustler life in the 90s immortalised him in the hip-hop hall of fame, even before his death at the young age of 24.In this collection of his insights and philosophy delivered throughout his short but brilliant life, we hear the &#39;King of New York&#39;&#160;in his own words on his early life in Brooklyn, his marriage to Faith Evans, his notorious temper and even&#160;his infamous friendship-turned-fatal-rivalry with Tupac Shakur.&#39;I&rsquo;m just realising that nothing protects you from the inevitable. If something&rsquo;s going to happen, it&rsquo;s gonna happen, no matter what you do.&#39;&#39;I was real, real bad. You know what made it worse? Motherf*ckers would tell my mother that I did something, and she just wouldn&rsquo;t believe them. "Not my Christopher", she would say.&#39;&#39;I&rsquo;m really no different than anybody else, I say grow from your mistakes and hopefully you can stand the repercussions.&#39;

As a student he was asked to take part in a salon ensemble and as he played his first waltz a whole new world opened up for him. From that time on Andre was hooked on the waltz rhythm and dreamt of creating a large orchestra that would enchant its audience. After recruiting his own &#39;Johann Strauss Orchestra&#39;, Andre began to tour.

The Johann Strauss Orchestra has grown from strength to strength and now has up to 50 players, and the orchestra&#39;s first CD, &#39;From Holland with Love&#39; (1994) stayed in the Top 10 chart in the Netherlands for over a year. Written by his wife, Marjorie Rieu, My Music My Life explores the story of Andre&#39;s youth; growing up in the Netherlands; the musical family he grew up in; his music studies; and his extraordinary success story as he went on to become a bestselling, international music star.
