legends of hip-hop

Tweet

There's an exhibition in Paris from 17th June showcasing the work of photographer Sophie Bramly during 1981 when she was fortunate enough (or was it prescience?) to capture the exact point in time that hip-hop exploded onto the streets of New York. Anyone who has any interest in dance music will love these photos. The show is at 12MAIL Gallery in Paris but those of us who are unable to get over to see it can see some of the photos online here:
