"Inspired by my love of rap, drawn during a period while studying the art and history of the cassette format throughout Hip Hop. I created this piece to depict a crucial evolutionary stage of an artists growth. The presentation of a cassette tape tucked neatly into its J Card. Housed in its case, like a trading card cased in one touch always has appealed to the kid in me.

Throughout my years of collecting tapes ive never come across anything like the NYC mixtapes and their artwork. The colors, concept choices and simplistic pre-photoshop layering of images to create a cover reminiscent of a newspaper article or a comic book cover so many artists and DJ's alike adopted, and that stayed prevalent during the era has become an art movement in itself.

Interviews and the early tracks that helped some of the greatest Hip Hop musicians rise to fame have been captured in these recordings. The visual imagery has been recreated from Original pieces acquired via numerous years of collecting."
