Over the past two decades, URB has worked with some pretty amazing photographers, many of whom have gone on to have their work celebrated on gallery walls and in the pages of some very nice photo books. Hip-hop lensman Mike Schreiber is the latest URB vet to get the coffee table treatment. His first book, True Hip-Hop comes out on October 26, featuring, “photos (some previously unpublished) that I’ve taken over the past 12 years, along with some personal stories and anecdotes.”Here’s a peak at just a few photos from this fantastic collection. You can pre-order it on Amazon or look for it at most good bookstores.
