Our Featured writers

dalton higgins

Dalton Higgins is a publicist, journalist and author of seven books. His book Far from Over: The Music and Life of Drake is carried in the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame collection in Cleveland, while his best-selling Hip Hop World book is carried in Harvard University’s hip hop archive. Higgins' pop culture themed writing and scholarship has led to him being interviewed on CNN and the New York Times. His latest book 101 Fascinating Basketball Facts unpacks all kinds of wildly interesting and obscure basketball anecdotes tied to height, gender, race, economics, geography, and everything in between.
