The Hip Hop Book Club is the first all hip hop, songwriting book club where hip hop artists and emcees compose and perform songs inspired by a work of literature. An offshoot of The Bushwick Book Club (the first songwriting book club formed in Brooklyn in January 2009), the first performance of the Hip Hop Book Club was as a part of the BBC series on March 2010 with eight hip hop artists and musicians performing songs written in response to Frank Miller's Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. Human beat boxer/emcee, Kid Lucky and BBC creator, Susan Hwang co-hosted the show to a full house, and the event received notice from "The New York Times," "Timeout NY" and music/entertainment blogs as well as "nerd" and comic blogs. $7 Advance/$10 at the door
