On today's episode we had the pleasure of interviewing Vikki Tobak, culture journalist, curator and author of Contact High: A Visual History of Hip-Hop, and most recently, Ice Cold: A Hip-Hop Jewelry History. We spent the first half of this interview speaking about Tobak's upbringing as an immigrant child from Kazakhstan in 1980s Detroit, falling in love with Black music prior to Hip-Hop, moving to New York in the early 1990s and working for early indie Hip-Hop labels; then later making the transition to being a writer for varying sized publications. In light of the release of Ice Cold, we took a deep dive into Tobak's personal relationship with jewelry, the evolution of Hip-Hop jewelry from the early 1980s to the present-day, what cities and rappers have the best jewelry, and so much more!
