UMBC Rap Research Lab Looks At The Artistry Of Hip-hop

An exhibition at University of Maryland’s Fine Arts Building features work that examines how technology, art and research intersect. The collection dissects hip-hop’s legacy by connecting the dots between rap lyrics and major artistic influences—including Andy Warhol, Picasso, and Rembrandt. The growing body of work springing from the 50-year-old artist based in Baltimore stems from his desire to “bring people together” to think critically about the overlap of classic art and modern music. (CBSBaltimore)
