“It was meant to be Eric B. and Rakim, and Chuck D and Flavor Flav, but Rakim didn’t get out of bed, and Flavor Flav was late, so it was Eric B. and Chuck D. It’s shot in The Bowery, where the Def Jam offices were – CBGB’s was just at the end of the street.” Lawrence Watson
Lawrence first travelled to the United States in March 1985 to shoot the early stars of hip-hop for NME. It was the first of over ten trips he would make in the next two years, documenting the artists who took hip-hop from block parties to the Billboard charts.
Lawrence Watson’s portraits of music royalty have visually defined our favourite musicians for decades. For Print Matters, Lawrence shares an exclusive collection of limited edition, signed prints of his globally renowned work.

Shipping of prints
Print Matters exhibition prints will usually be shipped within 14 working days of the order being placed. We will notify directly if a print of a particular image ordered may take longer for any reason. These prints will be shipped flat in boxes specially designed for the purpose and should not be rolled, as this risks causing damage. The exhibition prints come complete with a label for the reverse of the frame that details the artist’s name, image title, edition number, and other key details.
Our fine art posters are supplied carefully rolled inside sturdy cardboard tubes and are sized to fit off-the-shelf, pre-made frames.
