Rock and Rolling

Paul Grushkin’s new book raps about when music met motors.

Before LL Cool J ever rocked them bells, rock ‘n’ roll was rocking them whips. While hip-hop may have brought urban car culture into today’s pop culture, this mash-up of cars and music is nothing new. Don’t believe us? Just read Paul Grushkin’s Rockin’ Down the Highway. From punkers and their vans to rappers and their rims, this brilliant book dives into all aspects of what happens when you mix two things that for years have been the voice of the youth. Cars and music share one key thing in common: They allow you to express yourself (word to N.W.A.!), and Grushkin captures that through not only amazing interviews with the likes of Snoop to yours truly at RIDES, but with excellent photography and artwork. This beautiful coffee table book boasts over 1,000 photos and images that tell a story worth reading, or at least looking at.
