Whether it's diamondencrusted grills, oversized ?truck? style chains, bustdown Rolex and Patek Philippe watches or a Tiffany necklace, jewelry is a cornerstone of hiphop culture. Glittering, blingedout jewels are the shining statement of a collective identity: unapologetic, charismatic, and street savvy.Spanning the history of hiphop jewelry, from the 1980s to today, Ice Cold: A HipHop Jewelry History is a stunning compilation of storytelling and visuals. Hundreds of extraordinary images of every major hiphop artist on record celebrate how ?Ice? has become a proclamation of identity and selfexpression.Starting with RunDMC?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 hiphop tradition of ?show up and show out? reaches new heights with artists like Pharrell Williams, JayZ, Gucci Mane, and Cardi B, whose overthetop 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 hiphop 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.
