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.
