Synopsis

An astonishing collection of early European hip hop pose photos. In the early days of hip hop, American youth culture was still hard to come by and many young people in Europe had to work out their own ways of incorporating it into their lives. Most of the photos in Cause We Got Style are snaphots taken by kids on their way to a concert, next to a freshly painted graffiti piece or in their rooms at hom. The result is as charming as it is revealing.

About this title

Review:

'Whether you were into this scene or not you re bound to enjoy Dokument s Cause We Got Style' a colourful book of photos taken of European taggers and B-Boys back in the eighties, all perfectly frozen in time in front of their freezes,resplendent in their Cazals and Kangols from Chester to Checkpoint Charlie. Though I loved every single photo in this book for me the biggest shout out has to go to the ginger kid from Derby.' London Graffiti UK (22 April) --London Graffiti UK
