{"product_id":"houston-rap-photographs-by-peter-beste","title":"Houston Rap: Photographs by Peter Beste","description":"The 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.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 193826505X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: GBV.193826505X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Walker, Lance Scott|Kugelberg, Johan|B., Bun\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy appears to be signed by the authors.  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Good Books Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55858032017713,"sku":"GBV.193826505X.G","price":47.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/3730\/2065\/files\/193826505X-0.jpg?v=1787348346","url":"https:\/\/goodbookscompany.org\/products\/houston-rap-photographs-by-peter-beste","provider":"Good Books Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
