Here is an interesting brand new book for your collection dropped by Martin Pearson & Deverill Weekes. Back in the early 1990s Martin Pearson was a music journalist in London and Los Angeles, and a huge hip-hop fan for many years. Among many other publications, he used to work for Hip-Hop Connection in the UK and he interviewed many artist big and small from that era. He has recently put together a retrospective book of his work (with contemporary commentary). It's called Hip-Hop Rising: Profiles of the 90s.
" Hip Hop Rising: Profiles of the 90s revisits the golden era of hip hop with striking images and fascinating interviews. The book is based on the original 1990s’ journalism and photography by Martin Pearson and Deverill Weekes, two Londoners transplanted to Los Angeles in the 90s. It offers a rare glimpse inside the creative and controversial minds of the likes of Ice Cube, Wu-Tang Clan, Queen Latifah, Beastie Boys, Eazy-E, The Pharcyde—more than forty interviews in all. "
