Hip-hop and comics are two American artforms that bring together disparate elements to create vast worlds of creativity.

Here, Patrick A. Reed (Depth of Field, ComicsAlliance) brings together an all-star group of graphic artists and musical innovators to discuss the ties between these two creative cultures.
