Contact High: A Visual History Of Hip-Hop

"Writer Vikki Tobak delivers a coffee table book for the ages, a feast of words and iconic hip-hop portraits spanning four decades. Juxtaposed with illuminating essays from people like Fab Five Freddy, Questlove, and RZA, Contact High spotlights an array of photographers and culture makers to get the backstory on some of hip-hop’s most famous images. Oh, and the fashion! This book is not only a trip down memory lane, but a testament to the enduring power of hip-hop, a culture that’s constantly growing, constantly changing and continues to inform the world we live in."
