A DJ hunches over the decks, neon bleeding across his shoulders. You can hear the track just by looking at his posture.

Justin BUA specializes in that exact brand of late-night grit. In The Book of Hip-Hop, he slams hyper-stylized paintings against raw essays profiling the architects of the culture. It freezes split-second street gestures before they vanish into the dark, proving there is an entire history written in how a person stands.
