Summary

Bill Adler is an American music journalist and critic who specializes in hip hop. He was director of publicity at Def Jam Recordings between 1984 and 1990, and subsequently co-authored the book "Def Jam Recordings" (2011). He also founded Eyejammie Fine Arts Gallery and co-founded the poetry record label Mouth Almighty Records. Since the early 1980s, he has promoted hip hop in a variety of capacities, including as publicist, biographer, record label executive, museum consultant, curator, and documentary filmmaker. Adler's work as a hip-hop archivist commenced during his years at Rush/Def Jam. The Adler hip hop archive, which includes sound recordings along with album cover art, books, films, videos, photographs, newspaper and magazine articles, publicity materials, and other advertising, was acquired by Cornell University in 2013.
This collection mainly consists of printed matter about hip-hop artists, topics related to hip-hop, and hip-hop record labels.
