Raph Boogie from Aussie crew Mnemonic Ascent spent a few years photographing the studios of hip hop producers from a few countries. It will be out in mid-Nov. Took him almost 2 years to find a publisher for it. And if you are wondering why some people aren't in it, it's because some, like Marley Marley & Pete Rock, demanded money to be in it or because of scheduling conflicts.Interestingly XLR8R magazine have a book out soon called Bedroom Rockers which is a photographic book on DJ's rooms.Click on the Ginko press link for more pictures.

Raph used to be a skate photographer at onetime & is now one of our most tightest emcees & has been down since day one in the scene in Oz.
