IN INTERFICIAL ARTELLIGENCE: MOMENTS THAT MET ME, Chuck D presents his encounters with some of his greatest heroes and other public figures.

These seminal moments in Chuck D's life include: an editorial meeting with John F.

Kennedy Jr.; presenting an award to Davie Bowie; being recruited by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay to act in a film; eating chips and guac with Quincy Jones; being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame by Harry Belafonte; lobbying on Capitol Hill with Anita Baker; musical collaborations with Prince, Sheryl Crow, Janet Jackson, Erykah Badu, and John Mellencamp; and visiting Mumia Abu-Jamal in prison.

Chuck D says, 'For a PErson like myself - an aged distance beyond a half century of life on Earth - I have experienced a vast array of PEople, PlacEs & Things.

The memories are always a looping swirl in my mind. I'm often asked about them and I consider myself a decent storyteller.

As an illustrator, I'm able to recreate that point of view as I saw it.
