With a foreword by Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello, Chuck D's art debut Livin' Loud is a visual experience of over 250 artworks, each piece reflective of the man behind the music.

Please Note: By their very nature, all signed books will have been handled several times before they get to you. How long should R Kelly spend in prison -and does a USA system give a man a chance for a man to change his world around? Summer of Hamn is the bound journal Chuck D carried with him in the summer of 2022-a summer marked by a particularly high rate of gun death.He was more interested in making art, and didn't want to have to slow himself down with the business side of publishing, so he proposed that Akashic would host Enemy Books. Chuck D is considered a godfather figure of the rap world, the person people looked to for answers and the one who often had the last word. With audacious style, Chuck D—activist and cofounder of Public Enemy—chronicles his personal life and American history as it unfolded during 2020 and early 2022 in this set of three thought-provoking illustrated diary volumes . The box set is the inaugural offering from Enemy Books, the new Akashic Books imprinted curated by Chuck D. Nach wie vor sind die Hilfskräfte nicht in der Lage, mein Eigentum ordnungsgemäß in einem stabilen Karton zu verpacken.

In these pages, victims are memorialized, politicians are skewered, and vehement pleas to eradicate gun violence are made. I was already expressing my political viewpoint through my art and graphics, so the bridge into music was a natural next step. Like the neo-expressionist graffiti art of Jean-Michel Basquiat, Chuck D’s energetic “Naphic Grovels” marry text with drawings, commenting on contemporary events with the same activist instinct that propelled Public Enemy’s “music-with-a-message” reputation. No song may be more reflective of 1980s America than Public Enemy’s “Fight the Power;” no document may come to capture our COVID era like Chuck D’s STEWdio. With a foreword by Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello and featuring over 250 of Chuck D's paintings, sketches and drawings, Livin' Loud includes a commentary of over 13,000 words in which he offers unprecedented insight into his life and work.Livin’ Loud is a sufficiently loose and inclusive project that, not far away from this, D is ruminating on – and sketching – a nice bit of cityscape he found in Oslo.
