New Book in Stores “Definition: The Art and Design of Hip-Hop”

Bill Adler – the author of the Run-DMC biography “Tougher Than Leather: The Rise of Run DMC” – has teamed up with Cey Adams – a well known designer who has worked for countless hip hop artists – to release a new book entitled “Definition: The Art and Design of Hip-Hop“.

The book, which hit stores just a week ago, highlights the careers and artwork of hip-hop elders as Run-DMC, Dapper Dan and Snoop Dogg and many others as well as contemporary artists, featuring over 200 photos.

If interested, check out the interview with Cey and Bill at www.sneakerfreaker.com. The interview provides some background these guys come from and why their book could mean something to the hip hop world.
There is also a book review at Mic to Mic Blog, who’s author was so friendly to notify me that this book has been released.

I personally have not had my hands on the book yet, so can’t tell if it is any good. You’ll have to check yourself.
