  The aftermath of the collapse unleashed a wave of anarchy, leaving chaos in its wake. The once orderly streets were now filled with pandemonium and bedlam. People were driven to madness, their minds unhinged by the unrelenting hardships they faced. They resorted to riots and acts of senseless violence for even the smallest scraps of survival, their humanity stripped away by desperation. 
  The redeemer army, led by the aging McKenzie, struggled to maintain some semblance of order amidst the chaos. But as she grew older, her strength waning with each passing day, it became clear that her tenuous grip on power would not last forever. The weight of leadership bore down heavily upon her shoulders, and the lines etched deep into her weathered face told the story of a woman who had seen too much, endured too much. 
  Meanwhile, twelve ruthless gangs had taken control of the vast wastelands, seizing a monopoly on all resources. They ruled with an iron fist, their cruelty knowing no bounds. The people lived in constant fear, never knowing when they might fall victim to the gangs' whims. In the midst of this desolate landscape stood McKenzie's stronghold, a dark tower rising from the sand like a cruel jewel in a desert wasteland - her last remaining bastion of hope in an unforgiving world, her darkspire city.

  Chuck D (Public Enemy, Prophets of Rage, etc.) brings his personal insights and social critiques to the page in fierce, passionate, and evocative visual art and prose"The Public Enemy mastermind combines art and hip-hop rhymes to provide his compelling, personal views on the chaotic years between 2020 and 2022. Though they often feel like diary entries, each installment has an overarching storyline and theme . . . In an engaging, distinctly hip-hop style, Chuck D reveal important lessons from the early pandemic years." —Kirkus Reviews, Starred ReviewLegendary hip-hop artist and social activist Chuck D has used every opportunity in his groundbreaking career to stand up for civil rights. His rap group Public Enemy is widely regarded as a revolutionary act both in terms of its impact on hip-hop and its use of music to impart a message of race and class equality. The band emerged from the late 1970s/early '80s coalescence of rap, punk, and street art into hip-hop music culture on the East Coast. At the time, Chuck D had completed his BFA in graphic design, and while his music career exploded, his passion for visual art never left his heart.In February 2020, he turned his gaze once again to the page, and began to fill three 5 x 8 journals with his written and drawn reflections of a world beginning to unravel. STEWdio: The Naphic Grovel ARTrilogy of Chuck D recreates format of his original art, combining three full-color paperback bound books into a beautiful box set. The box set is the inaugural offering from Enemy Books, the new Akashic Books imprinted curated by Chuck D.Spanning the onset of COVID-19 through the first year of the Joe "Bye-Don" administration, Chuck D lends his powerful artistic voice to one of the most tumultuous periods in American history, and puts it in a capsule. Like the neo-expressionist graffiti art of Jean-Michel Basquiat, Chuck D's energetic "Naphic Grovels" marry text with drawings, commenting on contemporary events with the same activist instinct that propelled Public Enemy's "music-with-a-message" reputation. His inventive, Amiri Baraka–esque language and accompanying art is also occasionally used as a tool for introspection, providing unparalleled insight into one of the most important cultural figures of our time.Each journal follows a distinct period in Chuck D's (and America's) life; There's a Poison Goin On chronicles the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, from February–April 2020; 45 Daze of REaD Octobot follow the days leading up to and the aftermath of the historic 2020 election; and Datamber Mindpaper, which focuses on the early days of the Biden administration.No song may be more reflective of 1980s America than Public Enemy's "Fight the Power;" no document may come to capture our COVID era like Chuck D's STEWdio.
