Joe Coscarelli is a New York City-based Pop Music Reporter at The New York Times who has a brand new book titled Rap Capital: An Atlanta Story. It’s a “masterful, street-level story of art, money, race, class, and salvation” that dives into the history of the consequential Atlanta rap scene, megastars like Lil Baby and Migos, and lesser-known local artists like Lil Reek and Marlo. Coscarelli is also the host of very popular NYT Diary of a Song series on Youtube and a frequent guest on Jon Caramanica’s aptly named pop music podcast, Popcast. Lucky for us, Joe is here to tell us what he’s been into.
