About
Normski was a vital witness to the period known as the Golden Age of Rap, when big US artists like Run DMC, LL Cool J and Public Enemy started to play in the UK. At the same time, a British music scene born of Black music and myriad multicultural influence was developing, giving birth to Jungle, Garage and Techno.
The author, who describes himself as having been a young Black British homeboy photographer, was in the right place at the right time to document the emergent music, community and social movements of hip hop and rap in the UK.Normski: Man with the Golden Shutterpresents Normskis personal journey through that world from the mid-1980s to early 1990s.
The book includes Normskis often previously unseen photographs of Public Enemy, N.W.A., Cypress Hill, De La Soul, Goldie, Ice-T, Run DMC, Wu-Tang Clan and many others, alongside the photographers stories and anecdotes from the centre of what would become a hugely influential cultural movement.
