Cross's documentary style photos connect music, visual art and radical politics., ...an entrancing mid-career retrospective.

In this unique photographic mix tape, an extraordinary web of associations becomes apparent, revealing connections among people, cultures, and their creations., This mid-career retrospective of the world?s preeminent hip-hop/rap photographer offers a unique visual mix tape of hip-hop artists, producers, and record dealers from the West Coast to the global African musical diaspora.
