STEWDIO: THE NAPHIC GROVEL ARTRILOGY OF CHUCK D

Legendary hip-hop artist and social activist Chuck D has used every opportunity in his ground-breaking career to stand up for civil rights. His rap group Public Enemy is widely regarded as a revolutionary act both in terms of its impact on hip-hop and its use of music to impart a message of race and class equality. The band emerged from the late 1970s/early '80s coalescence of rap, punk, and street art into hip-hop music culture on the East Coast. At the time, Chuck D had completed his BFA in graphic design, and while his music career exploded, his passion for visual art never left his heart. In February 2020, he turned his gaze once again to the page, and began to fill three 5 x 8 journals with his written and drawn reflections of a world beginning to unravel. StewDio: The Naphic Grovel ARTrilogy of Chuck D recreates format of his original art, combining three full-colour paperback bound books into a beautiful box set.
