In the beginning they carried spray cans and used a blank wall or subway train for their canvas. Now, as hip-hop has grown, the art behind the culture has expanded to include more than just graffiti artists. We can now find digital artists and traditional artists amongst hip-hop’s new breed of visual storytellers. In this issue of VERBALISMS we introduce you to a couple of the women who are redefining hip-hop’s artistic canvas.
