Dr. Toby Jenkins' book, "The Hip-Hop Mindset" aligns and triggers rarely thought of and "dope" views about the power of a hip-hop mindset and how it can effectively be embodied in praxis. I have never seen such a prolific writing about hip-hop and its value proposition and impact on creative and forward thinking, practice, knowledge and community connectedness for good. The read reps the foundation for understanding hip-hop as unapologetically drive-driven and positively strategic.P. Thandi Hicks Harper, Ph.D.

"The Hip-Hop Mindset" offers professionals in other industries insight into what those of us in the music industry have known for decades: that hip-hop is a mainstream culture of power, drive, excellence, and success. Professor Toby Jenkins' profile of the "hip-hop habits of mind" is accurate, authentic and filled with all of the creativity, flavor, flow and style required by the culture.

In true Hip-hop scholar fashion, Dr. Toby Jenkins presents an educational approach borne of the aesthetics of Hip-hop-the Hip-hop Mindset. It goes to the core of what education and professional discipline should do--begin with students' human audacity, a posture that pushes past basic test scores into higher realms of creativity, a superstar mindset where guts and love are core to an ethic of professional practice.
