Isn’t it crazy how ideas happen. The most random thing can bring about something revolutionary. That’s how Bun B and Shea Serrano came up with the idea for a Hip-Hop coloring book.
The idea came about when Serrano did an interview with Bun the Houston Press two years ago. A day later, Bun called Serrano back to discuss a book idea.
At first, they considered a hip-hop survival guide but they decided against it. A year later, Shea was coloring with his kids and got extremely bored. He decided to take pen and paper and make them a coloring book filled with pictures of underground Houston rappers. Inspired, Serrano launched a Tumblr page with additional drawings of artists like 2Pac and Drake. The Tumblr quickly went viral. He and Bun then reunited, brainstromed on a new idea and here we are.
The coloring book will be released on September 17th and features 42 hip-hop visages, including Drake, Wiz Khalifa, Big Boi and Queen Latifah.
Rolling Stone did a Q&A with Bun to speak about the new idea. Read the full interview here and check out a preview of the book as well.
