Legendary Photographer Mike Miller Unveils ‘NWA Outtakes’ At Art Of Hip Hop

Sponsored By

April 26 @ 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm

Enjoy an evening of culture and conversation at Art of Hip Hop – Miami’s newest cultural exhibition space and world’s leading destination dedicated to celebrating Hip Hop’s visual artists. Join us for a talk with Mike Miller who will discuss his lengthy career shooting intimate portraits that chronicle the rise of the West Coast Hip Hop scene. Miller is slated to reveal ‘NWA Outtakes’ of the group’s 10th Anniversary album cover and release a brand-new poster featuring ‘1st Street Bridge,’ a candid moment as one of the Limited Car Club\’s Chevys on the iconic 1st Street Bridge.

This special discussion, poster release, and signing, set against the backdrop of a body of Miller’s seminal work, will take place on Friday, April 26th from 6:30PM to 9:30PM moderated by Art Of Hip Hop Co-Founder, Alan Ket. These images, which have only been shared online, have never been exhibited in a gallery or museum setting, making this event a premiere viewing opportunity.

From his early work with jazz legends to his deep-rooted connection with hip-hop icons like Tupac Shakur, Eazy-E, and Snoop Dogg, Miller\’s photographs are a testament to a pivotal era in music history. With pieces held in esteemed collections such as The New York Public Library and The Smithsonian, Miller\’s influence and impact on the arts are undeniable. Don\’t miss this unique opportunity to explore the time, culture, and community that birthed West Coast rap, through discussions and insights from the visionary Mike Miller himself.

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
