*On November 5, BMG Books will publish Goin’ Off: The Story of the Juice Crew & Cold Chillin’ Records by Ben Merlis.
The book, which is part of the RPM Series that focuses on record labels, is part narrative and part oral history, assembled from exclusive interviews with over thirty recording artists and industry veterans.
With a foreword written by producer/DJ/Stones Throw label owner Peanut Butter Wolf, and several dozen classic and unpublished photographs, Goin’ Off captures the spirit and energy of the time just before Hip-Hop was a household word.
During the writing of Goin’ Off, author Ben Merlis worked closely with George DuBose – the photographer and designer of the vast majority of the Cold Chillin’ catalog. DuBose, who is also known for his iconic B-52’s and Ramones album covers, contributed several candid photos from photo sessions with Kool G Rap & DJ Polo, Grand Daddy I.U., Big Daddy Kane, Mr. Magic and others, including many from the legendary photo session of Juice Crew luminaries standing in front of a Learjet in 1988.
Ahead of the book’s release, we’re giving five readers one copy of “Cold Chillin'”
Events are also confirmed in New York and Los Angeles around the release of the book.
Friday, November 1st, a book signing and discussion takes place at The ArtForm Studio in LA with honorary guest Marley Marl, Cut Chemist and Peanut Butter Wolf starting at 7:30PM.
Also, Thursday, November 14th there’s a conversation with Ben Merlis and Masta Ace at Powerhouse Arena Books in Brooklyn at 7PM.
