Hip-Hop at the End of the World captures the last 40 years of hip-hop's evolution—the styles that emerged from it, the artists who shaped it—through the exclusive, behind-the-scenes lens of renowned photographer Brother Ernie. Filled with personal anecdotes from Brother Ernie's time spent with his subjects and stories behind the photographs, Hip-Hop at the End of the World shares intimate moments from hip-hop's most pivotal era.

In 1973, Ernest Paniccioli picked up a camera to document the graffiti art that was sweeping New York City, embarking on a journey to capture the scene during hip-hop's most prolific period. Armed with his 35mm camera, he managed to photograph nearly every notable rapper from the genre's inception, becoming the go-to photographer for magazines like Word Up and Rap Masters. Hip-Hop at the End of the World is a curated selection of photographs from Brother Ernie's vast archive, celebrating over 40 years of swagger as the most complete record of America's most important musical movement.
