In an ongoing photo series entitled Hip Hop Honeys, photographer Brian Finke gets to go backstage behind the glitz and glam of hip hop music videos to document the off-screen action.
Many rap and hip hop videos often feature clubs full of hot babes dancing in tune to the rhythm. Since they pretty much star in the videos but are not actually famous, they lead a life of mystique that is intriguing and slightly devious.
