Hip Hop Family Tree is the comic book history of hip hop, as documented by Ed Piskor. This mix, on our sister site Groovement, is a tribute to the collected Book 3, out this week, and contains pretty much every track mentioned in the volume.

If you have a comic shop near you, the monthly issues are kicking off imminently. I recommend the independent Travelling Man, as they were kind enough to order me in the latest volume and they display Piskor’s work prominently!Follow Ed’s goings on at edpiskor.com, and the latests HHFT installments at boingboing.net. He’s also on FB, Twitter and Instagram.

Check some thoughts on HHFT Book 3 here.
