A DJ since 1973, Dannie Sims is the founder/publisher of Piiab Press Publishing Company and author of the Global Hip Hop Almanac & Book of Factz. Alive 17 years before the emergence of what the world now knows as Hip Hop, he has seen and heard it all for more than 50 years. He pulls no punches, as evidenced by this publication, and will undoubtedly give you much to think and talk about. Above all, the Global Hip Hop Almanac & Book of Factz will enable all who love Hip Hop to authoritatively separate Hip Hop itself from all individuals and personalities who have ever been associated with this powerful creative energy called Hip Hop.
