The dialog in these works is somber, prophetic and deeply unsentimental, much in the way his music is.

Livin’ Loud: ARTitation, a coffeetable book whose punning, brow-furrowing subtitle clearly flowed from the same pen as album titles like Muse Sick-n-Hour Mess Age (1994), showcases approximately 250 examples of his predominantly greyscale pen-and-wash art, accompanied by enough annotation and reminiscing to constitute a compact autobiography, though also enough polemic to situate it in the present.

Before that, he grew up on Long Island, obsessed with the New York Knicks and Motown – though to judge from this book’s opening salvo of musician portraits painted in a confident, appealingly scribbly hand, he had his ears wide open: to Nina Simone, free-jazzer Archie Shepp, blues meister Taj Mahal and hobo folkie Woody Guthrie.

A focused, fresh, urgent text filled with pictures worth 1,000 words and rhymes worth thousands more. 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.
