Description: 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 BF a 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. Stew Dio: The Naphic Grovel AR Trilogy of Chuck D recreates format of his original art combining three full - colour paperback bound books into a beautiful box set. The box set is the inaugural offering from Enemy Books the new Akashic Books imprinted curated by Chuck D. Spanning the onset of Covid - 19 through the first year of the Joe Bye - Don administration Chuck D lends his powerful artistic voice to one of the most tumultuous periods in American history and puts it in a capsule. Like the neo - expressionist graffiti art of Jean - Michel Basquiat Chuck D's energetic Naphic Grovels marry text with drawings commenting on contemporary events with the same activist instinct that propelled Public Enemy's 'music - with - a - message reputation. His inventive Amiri Barakaesque language and accompanying art is also occasionally used as a tool for introspection providing unparalleled insight into one of the most important cultural figures of our time. Each journal follows a distinct period in Chuck D's (and America's) life; There's a Poison Goin On chronicles the onset of the Covid - 19 pandemic from February - April 2020; 45 Days of Red October follow the days leading up to and the aftermath of the historic 2020 election; and Datamber Mindpaper which focuses on the early days of the Biden administration. No song may be more reflective of 1980s America than Public Enemy's Fight the Power; no document may come to capture our Covid era like Chuck D's Stew Dio.
