\"\"<\/p>\n

LIVIN\u2019 LOUD<\/b> presents a body of artworks which continue to address the social and politically conscious issues of his lyrics, revealing Chuck D<\/strong>\u2019s visual dexterity as he explores a diverse range of subjects paying homage to his musical influences and peers from James Brown<\/strong> and Woody Guthrie<\/strong> to Def Jam<\/strong> labelmates Run-DMC<\/strong> and Beastie Boys<\/strong>, a host of the most influential hip-hop artists from Ice Cube<\/strong> to Run the Jewels<\/strong>, his twin passions of baseball and basketball, creating a collection of landscapes on tour with Prophets of Rage<\/strong>, and a range of sociopolitical pieces that explore the issues continuing to shape our culture.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

LIVIN\u2019 LOUD<\/b> features Chuck D\u2019s<\/strong> engaging commentary, guiding the reader through his thought process and inspirations and tracing his musical and artistic trajectory through illuminating anecdotes and cultural observations that give unprecedented insight into his life and work. Chuck<\/strong>‘s text reveals his early experiences growing up in the turbulent era of the Sixties, in which he was shaped by the prevalent civil rights and anti-war sentiments of the time. He goes on to share his journey into the world of hip-hop from his early roots and the central figures that critically shaped him and his voice, the formation of Public Enemy<\/strong> through to their Rock \u2019n\u2019 Roll Hall of Fame<\/strong> induction, his time with Prophets of Rage<\/strong> through to current day world affairs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was already expressing my political viewpoint through my art and graphics, so the bridge into music was a natural next step. First, I expressed myself with my head and my hands, and then later with my voice.\u201d \u2013 Chuck D<\/b>LIVIN\u2019 LOUD<\/b> will be released as a hardback bookstore version<\/b> which will be available in bookstores worldwide and as a special signed limited edition of only 1,200 copies,<\/b> which will be available from Genesis Publications.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
