Posdnuos of De La SoulA New York Magazine 2021 holiday gift guide pickThe last decade of the 20th century into the first decade of the 21st represent a High Renaissance age of hip hopan era in which rap music had reached critical mass and was exploding, and in which New York City itself witnessed the worldwide ascension and cultural domination of its powerful homegrown art form. In Rap Is Risen: New York Photographs 19882008, celebrated photographer Sue Kwon documents this era with a combination of incisive portraits and unposed, spontaneous images that capture the energy of these ascendant artists and the city itself.With access to some of rap musics biggest legendssome stars already, some at the cusp of their fameKwons work offers an intimacy rarely seen in the hip hop photography of the time.
