"Second edition of the long-out-of-print
book which Bun B declared
"".... defines Houston hip-hop.""
Includes 32 new pages of never before
seen photos and text, Northside/Southside
Houston maps, and a complete index of the
timeline and oral history of the scene.
Houston Rap is an immersion into the everyday life of the Houston hip hop community.
The second edition, hardcover 304 page book features the photography of Peter Beste, who
spent 9 years documenting the culture alongside writer Lance Scott Walker.
Houston Rap profiles noted artists such as Bun B of UGK, Z-Ro, Big Mike, K-Rino, Willie D of the
Geto Boys, Lil’ Troy, and Paul Wall, alongside reflections on the lives of departed legends such
as DJ Screw, Pimp C, and Big Hawk. The book also features community leaders, rappers,
producers, businessmen, and family members, all providing important insight into a
great American cultural narrative, and the second edition features even more details into this
astonishing and influential scene."
