Chuck D’s excellent STEWdio (yes, Chuck D of Public Enemy) is a literal diary of stray thoughts, three books of them, in a box—and some of the most compelling reading I’ve done this year. Kirkus Reviews, STARRED reviewInSummer of Hamn,legendary hip-hop artist Chuck D takes on gun violence with rhythmic, inventive writing and passionately raw art.I was raised with an artist’s mentality; my first 25 years were spent as somebody who wanted to live among graphics and artwork and illustration, and then for the next 30 years it was all music. The approximately chronological Livin’ Loud hits its stride, naturally, when it reaches the goldenage hip-hop era, with quick-draw portraits – from photographs, most likely – of artists ranging from turntablist pioneer DJ Kool Herc to a brattish and slumped Beastie Boys and, of course, Public Enemy themselves: Chuck’s longtime compatriot/foil Flavor Flav, who’s been somewhat off. His lyrics are now considered some of the greatest of all time and Chuck remains a pioneer in rap music. As with his first art book, Livin’ Loud: Artitation, Chuck D illustrates Stewdio with neo-expressionist flair. In an engaging, distinctly hip-hop style, Chuck D reveal important lessons from the early pandemic years.
