Item Description
Rakim. Public Enemy. Brand Nubian. A Tribe Called Quest. Gang Starr. Digable Planets. KMD. Ice Cube. The Wu-Tang Clan. Mos Def. Lupe Fiasco. Jay Electronica. To many, these are some of hip-hop’s most significant artists. But few know that these artists, like many others, identify as Muslim and/or are connected to the global religion of Islam. Through the influence of figures such as Malcolm X and Muhammad Ali, hip-hop culture was dominated, if not deeply influenced by its relationship to Islam, from the foundation of Zulu Nation in the early 1970’s, to the “Golden Age” of hip-hop (1986-1995), and onto the present. "Return of the Mecca: The Art of Islam and Hip-Hop" showcases how Islam deeply impacted the worlds of jazz, poetry and hip-hop culture.

Edited by the curator Sohail Daulatzai, and with a cover design by Joe “Joe Buck” Buckingham (De La Soul), this 120 page full color, limited edition commemorative book for the celebrated exhibit "Return of the Mecca: The Art of Islam and Hip-Hop" features an extended interview with Yasiin Bey (aka Mos Def), essays by Chuck D and Sohail Daulatzai, photographs by Jamel Shabazz, Ernie Paniccioli, B+, Cognito, Katina Parker and others, as well as album cover art, cassette shells, J-Cards, flyers and other ephemera.

120 pages, full color, 8 inches X 11 inches, Paperback.
