But Good to Go is not just about music, though music forms its core. Recognizing that music cannot be separated from the culture from which it derives, the book is equal parts black life, youth culture, local politics, the mass media, hip hop culture, urban aesthetics, entrepreneurship, and the struggles of everyday life.

The Beat chronicles the development and popularity of Go Go music since its evolution in the early 1970s, when Chuck Brown left a Latin band to form the seminal Go Go band Chuck Brown and the Soul Searchers. His new band fused funk
