This fully illustrated memoir by Gregory \"Shock G\" Jacobs, as told to Alexis Wolfe Mbassa, captures the eternal vibrance of his style--playful, soulful, colorful, and profound. In  Keep It Beautiful, music lovers and 80s and 90s nostalgists will find a rare lens into the early days of hip-hop when it was an underground urban movement flirting with mainstream culture--bringing new takes on club classics and new style to the nightlife and street scenes.
