Adam Bradley is a scholar and editor whose work crosses between hip-hop studies, literary criticism, weird fiction, and poetry. His most influential work is The Anthology of Rap (2010), which he co-edited as a comprehensive collection of rap lyrics treated as literary texts. Book of Rhymes (2008) preceded it with an analysis of the poetic techniques that make rap work as a verbal art form.
Beyond hip-hop, Bradley has edited volumes of the Morpheus Tales weird fiction anthology series, written about Ralph Ellison (Ralph Ellison in Progress, 2010), and published The Poetry of Pop (2017) about lyrical craft in popular music. His catalog reflects an unusually broad range of literary interests, from underground horror fiction to mainstream music criticism.
