This Is Hip Hop: South

Featuring: Shannon McCollum

During the fall of NMAAM’s yearlong celebration of Hip Hop’s 50th anniversary, the South was showcased through the lens of Atlanta native Shannon McCollum.

For more than 25 years, McCollum has documented Atlanta’s rise as a powerhouse in mainstream Hip Hop. His photographs, accompanied by in-depth interpretations developed specifically for the This Is Hip Hop: South exhibit, captured the city’s influence, culture, and impact on the genre.
