As a rapper, I’ve always believed in the inverse of that old cliché about pictures and how many words they’re worth. For someone like me, words are worth a thousand pictures. Every line in every verse starts as a snapshot, a photograph that exists in memory or imagination until the moment I reinterpret it into written language.
There’s nothing particularly profound about this analogy between rapping and photography. All art comes from the same impulses: to describe, to document, to emote, to mythologize. For my entire adulthood, I’ve rapped for money and taken pictures for nothing, whether digitally via phone camera or experimenting with older film cameras and setting up a darkroom at home. I’ve come to realize these two mediums aren’t just analogous; they’re symbiotic. The energy, poetry and rebelliousness of hip-hop attracted me to it. But the visual imagery—particularly the photograph—drew me closer, giving me a reference point for the images my imagination created out of the listening experience.

Both highly practical and visually arresting, Leica’s handsome home reflects its status as a visionary presence in the photographic field.
Entering the vast Leitz Park development, an impressive concrete campus of Bauhaus-inspired buildings on the outskirts of the German town of Wetzlar, the first thing you notice is Leica’s assembly facility. With its curving front shaped to resemble a lens on one side and binoculars on the other, and a string of rectangular windows replicating the perforations in a roll of film, it is an unusual building to say the least. But it is also a fitting headquarters for the pioneering camera and lens brand. “The beginning of Leica was a revolution,” says managing director Andreas Kaufmann. “It’s in our DNA to do things differently.”
The company was forged in the early days of photography, when cameras were a cumbersome affair involving curtains, stands and large plates of glass. Struggling to lug all the kit around, asthmatic mechanic and hobby photographer Oskar Barnack saw an opportunity. In 1914 he revealed the Ur-Leica, a lightweight camera small enough to fit in a coat pocket. By 1925 Barnack’s employer, microscope maker Ernst Leitz Optische Werke, was making models based on his design. Leica was born.
