To celebrate the resounding critical and commercial success of the first two volumes of Ed Piskor’s
unprecedented history of Hip Hop, we are offering the two books in a mind-blowingly colorful slipcase,
drawn and designed by the artist. As if that’s not enough, in addition to the two books and the slipcase
itself, Piskor has drawn a 24-page comic book ― Hip Hop Family Tree #300 ― specifically for this boxed
set that elegantly reflects the confluence of hip hop and comics, which was never more apparent in the
early 1990s than with the famous Spike Lee-directed Levi Jeans commercial starring Rob Liefeld, who
went on to create Youngblood and co-found Image Comics, not to mention ending up on the radar of
gangster rapper Eazy E. Piskor tells this story as a perfect parody/pastiche/homage to ’90s Image
comics.
