Sue Kwon: Rap Is Risen: New York Photographs 1988–2008 REPRINT AVAILABLE

The 1990s/early 2000s represent a High Renaissance age of hip hop – an era in which rap music had reached critical mass and was exploding, and in which New York City itself witnessed the worldwide ascension and cultural domination of its powerful homegrown art form. In this volume, celebrated photographer Sue Kwon documents this era with a combination of incisive portraits and unposed, spontaneous images that capture the energy of these ascendant artists and the city itself.
