Hip Hop Culture: A Roadtrip Across Europe

By . Ing. h.c. F. Porsche Dr AG and Niko Backspin

A hip-hop road trip travel guide through 6 European countries following in the footsteps of rappers, graffiti artists, DJs, and breakdancersOrganized by Porsche in collaboration with hip-hop expert Niko BackspinHip-hop is not just a clothing style or a music genre -- hip-hop has the power to connect people from different countries and backgrounds and to hand down values like respect, tolerance and passion from generation to generation

Hip-hop expert and Backspin publisher Niko Backspin, together with Porsche, has created a new travel guide to Europe's hip-hop music and culture. Far from promotion tours or concert halls, Backspin meets and talks to rappers, DJs, street performers and breakdancers. Part of Porsche's 'Back 2 Tape' documentary series, this guide sheds a light on the influence of urban hip-hop youth culture in European cities.

With 17 artists from Germany, the Netherlands, the UK, France, Spain and Denmark, it combines portraits of hip-hop stars such as Kool Savas (Berlin), Lord Esperanza (Paris), Edson Sabajo (Amsterdam), Falsalarma (Barcelona), Lars Pedersen (Copenhagen) and the Flying Steps (Berlin) with destinations that every hip-hop and road trip fan in Europe should visit.

"This book is an invitation to encounter European hip-hop culture with all its diversity in an open and positive way..." Niko Backspin
