Photographer Peter Beste (photographer of \u003ci\u003eTrue Norwegian Black Metal\u003c\/i\u003e) and writer Lance Scott Walker spent nine years documenting the most influential style in twenty-first-century hip hop and the vibrant inner city culture from which it stems. \u003ci\u003eHouston Rap\u003c\/i\u003e, edited by Johan Kugelberg, profiles noted artists such as Bun B of UGK, Z-Ro, Big Mike, K-Rino, Willie D of the Geto Boys, Lil’ Troy and Paul Wall, alongside reflections on the lives of departed legends such as DJ Screw, Pimp C and Big Hawk. The book also features community leaders, rappers, producers, businessmen and family members, all providing an astonishing and important insight into a great American cultural narrative. In addition to featuring Beste’s previously unseen images of the contemporary Houston rap scene, \u003ci\u003eHouston Rap\u003c\/i\u003e includes a detailed timeline charting the growth of rap music in Houston from its origins to the present.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sinecure Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50096730472688,"sku":"9781938265051","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781938265051","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
