Flyboy in the Buttermilk

Flyboy in the Buttermilk is a compelling collection of essays by Greg Tate that delves into various aspects of American music and culture, addressing topics such as hip-hop, jazz, and influential artists like Miles Davis and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Through a diverse range of social, political, and economic themes, Tate offers insightful and provocative commentary on contemporary issues. The book, reissued with a new introduction by Hanif Abdurraqib and a foreword by Questlove, reflects Tate’s distinctive voice—brave, honest, and often incisive—about where America is headed.
