They Can't Kill Us Until They Kill Us

A stunning collection of essays using music as a vantage point through which to examine and interrogate the world we live in. In a collection of essays published by the New York Times, MTV, and Pitchfork, among others - along with original, previously unreleased essays '' Hanif Abdurraqib explores the political, social, racial condition of our world today through the language of music and culture. From discussions over public displays of affection at a Carly Rae Jepsen show to the everyday threats to the lives of black Americans, including his own, Abdurraqib provides a lens through which to view our world, so that we might better understand ourselves, and in so doing proves himself a bellwether for our times.
