Abstract: "This work examines the formalistic shifts in contemporary African American literature through a hip-hop lens. No longer following the status quo regarding genre or voice , these texts manage to reposition Black writing by forcing an intimate conversation with their readers that compels introspection. Coupled with a mixed-media approach , these works manage to engage and center those readers who might otherwise not have access to the interior monologues of what it feels like to be Black in ""post-racial"" America."
