Hip-Hop: Graffiti Art

The “Hip Hop: Graffiti Art” stamp was issued in 2020 as part of the United States Postal Service’s Hip Hop stamp series. The stamp features an illustration of a woman holding a can of graffiti paint, and the words “Hip Hop, Graffiti Art” are emblazoned in large, bold letters at the top.

This stamp celebrates the cultural and artistic impact of hip hop, which has been a vital part of American music and culture since its emergence in the Bronx in the 1970s. Graffiti art has always been a central element of hip hop culture, with many early graffiti artists also becoming influential figures in the hip hop music and dance scenes.

The “Hip Hop: Graffiti Art” stamp is a colorful and dynamic tribute to this iconic aspect of hip hop culture, and it serves as a reminder of the power of art to inspire and bring people together. It is a fitting addition to the Hip Hop stamp series, which seeks to celebrate the rich history and continuing influence of hip hop on American culture.
