Summary:
"Groundbreaking artist Justin BUA profiles and paints fifty key figures, including everyone from Afrika Bambaataa and Grandmaster Flash to President Obama and Jay-Z, providing a portrait of each legend in a style reminiscent of the great masters. The artwork is accompanied by an engaging autobiographical narrative that contextualizes the impact each icon has had on BUA's personal life and on the hip-hop culture at large."--Jacket.
