Praise for Bun B's Rap Coloring and Activity Book:

"A star-studded cast of some of the biggest names in rap, all in one book." β€” Fast Company's Co.Create blog

"It's 48 pages long, and that's the exact same number of pages the Bible has, and that's not an accident. That's a little thing called God's will." β€” Vice.com

"The book is funny, smart, and as kid-tested, mother-approved as some of these guys get." β€” Vulture.com

"Hilarious... razor sharp." β€” XXL

"If you've spent any kind of time on the Internet, chances are something Shea Serrano has written, drawn, or created has made you smile. The book's a load of fun, and is sure to please rap nerds and crayon-wielding tykes alike." β€” Village Voice

"There's art, humour and education, fun for young and old." β€” Paste magazine

"This is one of the few Tumblr-to-book projects that doesn't make me want to punch my computer in disgust. If the phrase 'see if you can build a Budden' doesn't make you chuckle, then you should stay away from hip-hop or jokes." β€” Christopher R. Weingarten, SPIN

Bun B's Rap Coloring and Activity Book is gangsta!" β€” Mass Appeal.com

"48 pages of MC worship mixed with a generous measure of the kind of casual dissing of its star players that hip-hop excels at." β€” Esquire

"The hip-hop colouring book is the single most important thing to happen to colour since Cam's pink Range Rover. Everyone should want a Serrano in their baΓ±o." β€” Nate Erickson, GQ

Bun B and Shea have assembled a perfect collection of today's brightest hip hop stars for fans of all ages to create, colour and remix. The Rap Coloring and Activity Book is like your own personal mixtape that you can hang on your fridge and impress everyone with." β€” Mike Ayers, Rolling Stone

"Fans can now colour inside the lines of hip-hop greats." β€” LA Times' Jacket Copy blog

"It's gotta be a first-for rap and for colouring." β€” Houston Chronicle

"For rap aficionados young and old." β€” GQ.com
