THE BOOK OF HIP-HOP
Its history deserves to be treated like art history.
Justin BUA does for Hip-Hop what Michelangelo did for the Renaissance-he visually documents our era's philosophies, ideologies, and culture, so we can remember and others can learn. The Book of Hip-Hop brings to light our time, now and forever."
Big Daddy Kane
The Book of Hip-Hop holds a true vision of our culture-the neighborhoods, the people, and the situations we grew up with. While I paint it sonically, BUA skips the rhyme and goes straight to putting music on canvas.
Rakim
He wove the legacies of the great masters through time into the fabric of our Hip-Hop culture
