About the Book

The Coolest Music Book Ever Made aka The MC 500 is a two volume set containing short write-ups for 500 different songs from over 250 artists from the genres of Funk, R&B, Hard Rock, Hip-Hop, Soft Rock, Disco, Jazz, House, Metal, Reggae, and Pop. This musical All-Star Team for the ages assembled by music historian, author, collector & radio personality Marcus Chapman is a must have for any music lover seeking out more tunes, or more info about songs you already know. Each song entry includes exact title, artist, writers, producers, year of impact, album it came from, label it was released on, and in most cases, memorable line from the lyrics in addition to the author's write-up. Various autographed albums, pics with the artist, and rare promotional items are also included. Volume 2 of this music guide is due to be released in August 2015.
About the Author: Marcus Chapman is a music historian, radio personality, and author from Chicago's south east side. He started collecting music at the age of 4, and began his radio career at WKDI in DeKalb, Illinois while attending Northern Illinois University. Upon graduating with a Bachelors of Arts Degree and a minor in Black Studies, Chapman became the youngest employee at WGCI; Chicago's #1 radio station at that time. After serving time as a studio assistant and show producer, he joined the staff of on-air personalities; a staff that produced nationally renowned alumni such as Tom Joyner, Doug Banks, and Steve Harvey. After four years of being at the station, MC was the host of WGCI's two hottest weekend shows and the city's number one weekly party. Chapman was then hired by Indianapolis radio station WTLC as host of their nightly 6 to 10 show. While helping WTLC achieve number one ratings at night, Chapman garnered attention from stations in various cities around the country. After nearly landing in New York, Washington DC, Miami, Philadelphia, and Raleigh, North Carolina, MC was hired by Dallas-Ft. Worth's KKDA, alias K104. Following his stint in Dallas, MC returned to Chicago and WGCI. During that time he also worked as a music researcher for the radio data company Mediabase. Chapman used his experience as an air talent, music collector, and music historian to help Mediabase accurately track the daily playlists of numerous urban and urban adult stations throughout the country. This reported data was used to compile weekly charts for the industry magazine Radio & Records. After nearly being hired by stations in Los Angeles and Atlanta, Marcus re-joined the WGCI air staff for a third and final time. He then relocated from Chicago to Atlanta, and was heard several times on that city's #1 station WVEE (V103). As of 2015 he resides in Dallas again, and can be heard on Radio One hip-hop station KBFB 97.9 The Beat, as well as Greenville, Mississippi hip-hop station WIBT 104.7 The Beat.
