About the Book:
A gritty, graphic, and gripping exposé of the underworld and its inhabitants, It’s All Good, the first monograph by Boogie, presents the predators and the prey in the drug game today. Shot in New York City’s most notorious neighborhoods—Bushwick, Bedford Stuyvesant, and Queensbridge—Boogie gained intimate access into a world few dare to venture, a world closed to outsiders, a world of crackheads, junkies, and gangsters. From the cops patrolling the project roofs to the addicts overdosing on the streets, It’s All Good chronicles ghetto life in stark, heart-stopping images and intense testimonials. Boogie brings us to a place few will leave and most will stay, a place where escape is one rock, one shot, one glock away.

Limited Edition:
SHELLAC, the Japanese apparel and accessories company, has created an exclusive limited slipcase for powerHouse’s newest release, It’s All Good by Boogie. The limited edition is a run of 100 copies, each including a seven by ten inch silver-gelatin print that is signed and numbered by the artist. SHELLAC—a slang term meaning “break or crash something”—shows the significance and principle of a man, a man who values his own sense of self and never loses his own power. The term reveals a man’s fundamental desire to destroy just another commonsense, and unveils an elegance he’s gifted with—right behind his boldness. The SHELLAC brand’s unique creativity is embodied in their original works, which use diverse media such as leather, various weavings and dyings. The SHELLAC spirit: change the style, and strain to do sensuous works.
