Innton Tigger wants to make it clear that his My Hip-Hop Wiz passion project is not your grandma’s The Wizard of Oz and it’s not your mom’s The Wiz. “Dorothy,” he says in the preface, “isn’t some fragile figure wandering through a fairy tale. She’s a force of her own; a queen with a crown stitched together from struggle, laughter, and the music that pulses through her veins.” That’s the general vibe here: a classic story retold with a contemporary edge. It’s fun, and any clunkiness in the prose is forgivable due to the sheer joy on display.
