Mireya Acierto's Chicago The Photo Album Photo Album: Common and Bump J Edition
RubyHornet has linked up with photographer Mireya Acierto, a very accomplished photographer that has documented a large portion of Chicago Hip Hop over the last several years. Intended to celebrate both her work, as well as Chicago's Hip Hop achievements, we present "Chicago The Photo Album Photo Album", a look at some of her most notable shots and the stories behind them. We kicked the series off with some shots of Lupe Fiasco (click here) and continue the series with some flicks of two Chicago Hip Hop heavyweights, Common and Bump J. While both hail from Chicago's South side, Common and Bump seem to occupy different spots for Hip Hop heads. Their subject matter shares certain elements, but perhaps the dividing line is their perspective on the matters, as Common offers a voice and critique of society ills, while Bump J writes from position of someone actually participating in them. Find out how they came to meet for these pics, why they're in front of Cabrini Green, and more straight from Mireya.
