These questions are explored in relation to necropolitical Mexico, drawing from empirical research with musicians commissioned to write narco rap, producers and consumers of rap del barrio, and hip hop artists protesting the disappearances, homicides, systematic violence and impunity enjoyed by criminal organisations and state institutions alike. |
