Miles Davis's autobiography has been reissued to commemorate what would have been his 100th birthday, featuring new forewords from essayist Hanif Abdurraqib and rapper Nas. Nas writes that Davis and hip-hop share common roots, with both art forms being innovative and bold, while Davis's fearless approach to overcoming racism and preserving his artistic integrity throughout his career offers lessons for contemporary musicians.
