as the 80s gave way to the 90s, hip hop’s growing influence and momentum would see a fresh surge of artists pushing party anthems and inner-city social insight. backed by major label money and increased media exposure, this new breed would help establish a level of musical dominance, that would come to envelop every aspect of everyday societal and popular culture.
through the unseen archive and perspective of photographer and documentarian tee max, look back at the beginnings of some of music’s most recognisable figures, trailblazers, and pioneers. welcome to...'the ascension years'
