{"product_id":"houston-rap-2nd-edition-book","title":"Houston Rap: 2nd Edition (Book)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Houston, Texas, neighborhoods of Fifth Ward, Third Ward and South Park have grown to be hallowed ground for modern rap culture, populated with celebrities, entrepreneurs, support networks and a micro-economy of their own. Photographer Peter Beste (photographer of True Norwegian Black Metal) 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. Houston Rap, 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, Houston Rap includes a detailed timeline charting the growth of rap music in Houston from its origins to the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 11\/13\/2013\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Book\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Apocalypse Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42866454069310,"sku":"68I20T-K5MI-00","price":50.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2059\/7683\/files\/houston-rap-2nd-edition_qKoAp.jpg?v=1780792626","url":"https:\/\/goldenapplecomics.com\/products\/houston-rap-2nd-edition-book","provider":"Golden Apple Comics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
