Title: Damn son where did you find this?
Description: The first book ever to focus on the cover art of the modern US hiphop mixtape. A visual world that reached unseen levels at the turn of the millennium, uncensored, unregulated and extreme, it is the most anarchic of graphic design genres. Freed from major label guidelines, lawyer opinions and moral hindrances, the designers featured are truly unique. Included are 500 cover artworks along with interviews with the designers telling the stories of how they slipped into the hiphop mixtape industry.
