FIRST LOOK: Stunning Local Hip Hop Photography Book Launched With Tour

Local hip hop artists Briggs, Mantra and Grey Ghost are heading out on tour in August to celebrate the launch of Rise, a photography book by Michelle Grace Hunder chronicling the local hip hop scene.

Hunder raised the funds to release the book via a Pozible campaign, eventually receiving overwhelming support from both fans and artists.

Briggs, Mantra and Grey Ghost — all featured in the book — will join other subjects of Hunder's book for a national tour, including Dylan Joel, Jaytee, Flagrant, Alex Jones (fka Dr Flea) and Mistress Of Ceremony.

The tour kicks off in Melbourne on Thursday 21 August and takes in Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Ballarat — note: Grey Ghost is not included on the Ballarat and Perth legs.
