Hip-hop is more than baggy jeans and explicit song lyrics. It’s a cultural force that has its roots in individual expression, spontaneous creativity, haphazard fashion, and rebellious flair. Now two masters of hip-hop have joined forces to embark on the "fool's errand" of attempting to teach the unteachable, by creating a definitive guidebook for aspiring hip-hop artists.

Join noted hip-hop artist Damion Scott and internationally recognized music journalist Kris Ex as they share the principles of drawing and construction, and combine them with the style and spirit of the hip-hop culture through its gear, characters, graffiti, environments, and more.

Every artist and aspiring artist, and every fan of hip-hop and pop culture in general will appreciate the energy this book generates. It includes 150 illustrations.

Damion Scott has illustrated Batman, Batgirl, and Robin for DC Comics and Spectacular Spider Man for Marvel Comics. His work appears in hip-hop magazines and on t-shirts, hats, and soft drink labels.

Kris Ex writes for Rolling Stone, Blender, Vibe, XXL, Hip-Hop Connection, and many other publications.
