Description

A metropolitan movement that shocked the world of art

This book chronicles the life and art of Massimo “Crash Kid” Colonna, a pivotal figure in the evolution of Italy’s Hip-Hop movement. Crash Kid, who initially gained recognition as a Break Dancer in Rome back in 1983, laid the foundational elements that have shaped Italy’s contemporary Hip-Hop culture.
Through a remarkable collection of previously unpublished images sourced from the artist’s archive, as well as contributions from prominent figures in both the Italian and international street art scenes, ‘Crash Kid – A Hip-Hop Legacy’ offers an intimate look into the life and career of Crash Kid. With unwavering dedication and artistic flair, this book underscores the profound influence he had on the entire Hip-Hop scene, solidifying his status as a true legend in the world of Hip-Hop.

The birth of the street culture in Italy and his pioneers

Within the pages of this book, you’ll find a captivating collection of photographs and texts that document the emergence of Street Culture in Italy. These records date back to the early Hip-Hop concerts of the 1980s and the inception of the legendary “Zulu Party,” which served as pivotal meeting points for the movement’s pioneers. Comprising more than 400 narratives, this collection encapsulates the artistry of Crash Kid and the organic growth of this subculture.
From its humble beginnings as an underground fringe movement to its current status as a vital component of mainstream Italian culture, this story is authentically portrayed through the voices and perspectives of the key players and protagonists who shaped that era.

“I remember when Afrika Bambaataa came to Rome for the first time. It was in 1985, a very special evening. Massimo and I  went to see him together, and after the concert we went to Galleria Colonna and we danced all night. Massimo would fuel everyone, he loved Hip Hop and was a real b-boy. And those catchphrases of his…He always joked, he was like a child.”Jimmy Fernandez
