“It was meant to be Eric B. and Rakim, and Chuck D and Flavor Flav, but Rakim didn’t get out of bed, and Flavor Flav was late, so it was Eric B. and Chuck D. It’s shot in The Bowery, where the Def Jam offices were – CBGB’s was just at the end of the street.” Lawrence Watson
Lawrence first travelled to the United States in March 1985 to shoot the early stars of hip-hop for NME. It was the first of over ten trips he would make in the next two years, documenting the artists who took hip-hop from block parties to the Billboard charts.
Lawrence Watson’s portraits of music royalty have visually defined our favourite musicians for decades. For Print Matters, Lawrence shares an exclusive collection of limited edition, signed prints of his globally renowned work.
