Boston Band Crush Archived Article: Magical Hip-Hop Crush: Wiz Rock iz Dead

This article originally appears on Boston Band Crush ). Well, friends, the Harry Potter book series has come to a conclusion and the film adaptations are wrapping up soon enough. So, it is my duty to declare that Wizard Rock, music inspired and about the world of Potter has also reached its expiration date…at least that’s what we’ve been told. Emerging from the ashes is the post-wrock (that’s Wizard Rock) genre of Whip-Whop (okay, I made that one up), Wizard Hip-Hop – yes, that’s Harry-Potter-themed hip-hop.
