It's a fun, friendly, and informative read for B-boys and B-girls of all ages.
In the follow-up to their acclaimed and beloved hit What Is Punk? (Akashic, 2015) author Eric Morse and artist Anny Yi reunite to celebrate the music that changed their lives and the voices that achieved iconic status along the way. See Run-DMC, LL Cool J, Beastie Boys, Salt-NPepa, Biggie and Tupac, Eminem, even Nicki Minaj and Kendrick Lamar, as you've never seen them!

"A must-read."
--Blackout Hip Hop
"A joyous and sublimely illustrated hip-hop history lesson."
--The Village Green (Maplewood, New Jersey)
"It's the art, clay-model dioramas, that really takes the narrative to an intriguing and original place; more than merely effective sculpted portraits, the illustrations position and light the artists in involving and evocative scenes."
--Bulletin for the Center for Children's Books
"They're all here! Every hip hop star from DJ Kool Herc to Nicki Minaj, Drake and Kendrick Lamar. Told in rhyming poetry, Eric Morse reminds everyone of the history of this remarkable art form, and all of the offshoots, including break-dancing, graffiti, clothing, and DJs...The artwork is spectacular. Done in clay by Anny Yi, each hip hop star is so cleverly created that they are immediately recognizable."
--The Cyberlibrarian (blog)
"This book is incredible for so many reasons. It celebrates hip-hop in a way that shows respect for the art and culture. It not only pays tribute to some of the pioneers of the art form, but it does so in a way that is quite entertaining to both young and old."
--Chase March's "Silent Cacocophy" (blog)
