Description
Now there's no excuse for not knowing the lyrics of 'Rapper's Delight', one of the earliest rap songs, a hit in 1979 by The Sugarhill Gang. This typographic print by Honeymoon Hotel celebrates hip-hop history. This fine art-quality print on 210gsm acid-free archival paper is framed in obeche wood in a choice of finishes. The acrylic glaze is light in weight and optically the same as glass. Ready to hang on your wall, it's made in the UK in an exclusive size for John Lewis & Partners. Honeymoon Hotel is a creative hub, perfectly fusing their passion for design with their love for the written word and everything beautiful in between. Their chic and contemporary range is always thoughtful, considered and reflects the very latest in colour, design and graphic trends. Have you thought about wall hooks and fittings?
Our Stylist Says
I really like this print for adding a playful, nostalgic vibe to a variety of interiors. It works particularly well in eclectic, retro-inspired spaces like living rooms, home offices, or entertainment areas where a bit of personality is key. The bold black and white typography makes it versatile - it can be paired with colourful accessories or kept as a monochrome statement. Practical styling tips include grouping it with other vintage posters or framed records for a curated look, or placing it above a simple console or sofa to create a focal point. Its humourous message makes it an engaging piece that can energise a room while also sparking conversations.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
