D Chuck - Summer Of Hamn Hollowpointlessness Aiding Mass Nihilsm A Naphic Grovel By Chuck D - Hardcover

Binding: Hardcover
Description: In Summer of Hamn legendary hip - hop artist Chuck D takes on gun violence with rhythmic inventive writing and passionately raw art. He has long spoken out against gun violence including how it intersects with rap and hip - hop culture. Summer of Hamn is the bound journal Chuck D carried with him in the summer of 2022 - a summer marked by a particularly high rate of gun death. In these pages victims are memorialized politicians are skewered and vehement pleas to eradicate gun violence are made. Jaw - dropping statistics (40% of all personal guns in the world are owned by US citizens; there are 100 million more guns in the US than there are citizens) intersect with poetic reflections (Another mall shooting seems normalized in Columbus / Raining outside in Ohio / Raining inside folks panic / Inside hearing shots bust') all written in Chuck's hand over vibrant utterly original neoexpressionist ink and watercolour art. This book is the follow - up to STE Wdio the debut trilogy on Chuck D's Enemy Books imprint in which he invented a new medium - the 'naphic grovel - a bound journal brimming with his observations and reflections of current events in both art and prose. Summer of Hamn is the second release on the imprint.
