Hip-hop’s premier photographers have united to celebrate the early days the culture as it first defined itself on the streets of the South Bronx in the 70s and then taking to the recording studios in the 80s. Documenting the culture as it defined itself on it’s own terms, Janette Beckman and Joe Conzo capture the masterminds whose artistic influence and unquestionable legacy have influenced the world over.
