For my latest show, I have decided to concentrate strictly on Hip Hop, more specifically on the golden years. As I looked back at my drawings, I realized that half the people I drew are now passed away. I also realized that out of all the music that came out of that era, only Hip Hop was still relevant today and not only relevant, more and more young artists are trying to get back to that sound I loved.

I drew 100 Hip Hop artists that I think have influenced Hip Hop in their own way. I don't listen to or like every artist I drew but as an artist myself I must be objective and document Hip Hop as it is not as I want it to be. Of course I forgot many artist that deserve to be there but I will draw them in time I promise.

So from east to west, underground to commercial, this gallery is an homage to my favorite musical genre.
