Sound Field is an original music education series from PBS Digital Studios that explores the music theory, production, history and culture behind our favorite songs and musical styles. Hosted by accomplished musicians and music teachers Arthur “LA” Buckner, Linda Diaz and Nahre Sol, each episode is a unique combination of musical performance and video essay explainers.

Season 4 focuses entirely on Hip-Hop, with episodes analyzing the vocal art form of beatboxing, the rich history of battle rap, and the emergence of drill and “alternative” rap styles. The six episodes provide viewers with insights into the past, present, and future of America’s fastest-growing genre.
