Whether it's diamond-encrusted grills, oversized "truck" style
chains, bust-down Rolex and Patek Philippe watches or a Tiffany
necklace, jewelry is a cornerstone of hip-hop culture. Glittering,
blinged-out jewels are the shining statement of a collective
identity: unapologetic, charismatic, and street savvy. Spanning the
history of hip-hop jewelry, from the 1980s to today, Ice Cold: A
Hip-Hop Jewelry History is a stunning compilation of storytelling
and visuals. Hundreds of extraordinary images of every major
hip-hop artist on record celebrate how "Ice" has become a
proclamation of identity and self-expression. Starting with
Run-DMC's gold Adidas pendants and Eric B. & Rakim's
ostentatious dookie rope chains and Mercedes medallions, the
jewelry then transforms from street style into a booming design
culture. The hip-hop tradition of "show up and show out" reaches
new heights with artists like Pharrell Williams, Jay-Z, Gucci Mane,
and Cardi B, whose over-the-top pieces integrate unique pop culture
references, unconventional materials, and enduring collaborations
with artists like Takashi Murakami. Author Vikki Tobak reveals - in
great detail - the work of pioneering jewelers such as Tito Caicedo
of Manny's, Eddie Plein, and Jacob the Jeweler as well as newer
artisans such as Avianne & Co., Ben Baller/IF & Co., Greg
Yuna, Johnny Dang, Eliantte, and many more. Ice Cold is a treasure
trove of dazzling, inspirational style, featuring the work of
leading photographers, including Wolfgang Tillmans, Janette
Beckman, Jamel Shabazz, Timothy White, Gillian Laub, David
LaChapelle, Danny Clinch, Chris Buck, Mike Miller, Phil Knott,
Raven B. Varona, Al Pereira, Albert Watson and many more. A
foreword by hip-hop superstar Slick Rick and essays by A$AP Ferg,
LL COOL J, Kevin "Coach K' Lee and Pierre "P" Thomas of Quality
Control Music take us on personal journeys into their jewelry
universe. Ice Cold goes beyond the ostentatious bling to reveal a
transformative story that is loud and proud.
