HIP HOP RISING
Profiles of the 90s
By Martin Pearson & Deverill Weekes
Step into the golden era of hip hop with Hip Hop Rising: Profiles of the 90s—a powerful visual and editorial tribute to the artists who shaped a generation.
Today Was a Good Day
This recent release combines stunning photography and raw, unfiltered interviews with the legends of 90s rap, offering an intimate look at the genre’s meteoric rise from underground movement to global force.
The Group's Name: Martin Pearson and Deverill Weekes
The book features rare snapshots and original interviews with (GOAT) artists like Ice T, Queen Latifah, Wu-Tang Clan, LL Cool J, Beastie Boys, and Eazy-E—capturing them at the dawn of their careers, when hip hop was still rewriting the rules.
A Look Behind the Lens of a Cultural Revolution
Whether it’s Ice T reacting to breaking news about the OJ Simpson case, or Ice Cube confronting censors and critics, every page delivers an unforgettable moment in time. From the coasts of the U.S. to the expanding global rap scene, Hip Hop Rising is more than nostalgia—it’s a tribute to cultural revolution, artistic ambition, and the legacy of a movement that continues to shape the world.
The Already Perfect Project is a love letter to the locals — the people who make Venice, SEXY.

VIVA LA X VIVA LA VENICE
Today we celebrate 120 years of Venice — the art, the edge, the energy.
JUNTOS. TOGETHER.
In partnership with VIVA LA, we honored the heartbeat of the Westside through color, culture, and community.
WE HAD SOME FUN.
Under the boardwalk, and through the boulevards.
