Miami, FL, April 22, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Don’t be fooled by the tattoos, dreadlocks and baggy clothes you see on young people today. This new generation of kids has nothing to do with “Generation X”, which is why author and record producer Thomas W. Demerritte calls them “Generation Next.” There is no denying that hip hop and rock music play a very important role in the lives of Generation Next. That’s a Rap!, published by Dog Ear Publishing, is an inspiring and informative book written for young people, especially urban youth, who are interested in making a career in music.

In That’s a Rap!, Demerritte gives an insider’s view of the music industry, revealing some pretty eye-opening facts about how popular music is produced and stars are made. Did you know that most of the people in the music business can’t even sing a note? In an easy-to-read format, That’s a Rap! defines and explains the different elements that make the music industry function and encourages young people to consider the industry’s many constantly expanding career choices. Social responsibility in music is also emphasized. At the end of each chapter there is a brief test to measure the level of understanding of the topics. This book also encourages young readers to find schools, books, websites and courses to gain more knowledge about the music business.

Author Thomas W. Demerritte is a record producer and the founder of the non-profit group Alternative Directions Music Industry Training(ADMIT) Program (http://www.theadmitprogram.org/) which teaches kids about the music industry and trains them to write and record their own positive songs. His organization also emphasizes social responsibility, economic self-sufficiency, life skills and a commitment to public service.
