Myanmar, also known as Burma, is more famous for its monks and military junta than for its booming hip-hop culture. Yet, the capital Yangon is home to hundreds of underground rap groups and graffiti crews and the hip-hop scene there is probably one of the most active in Asia. I travelled to Myanmar in june 2010 and met some of the leading members of the local underground scene, presented here in a selection of photographs showing a different face of a country that only gets little exposure to the outside world.
