    ‘Setting Standards Again with Tha Force’

    I was honoured again that Tha Force reached out and asked me to paint another vinyl art piece for his new project featuring a number UK Artists. His latest release ‘Setting Standards II’ can be purchased from www.thekingofthebeats.com **Picture features myself and Tha Force (Right) and Poynt Blak (left)** #ukhiphop #theartfulfro #vinylart #artonvinyl

    Ladies First...

    UK Hip-Hop artist  Monie Love was on a rare visit performing in London. She is someone I greatly appreciated growing up and could not resist the opportunity to present her with a vinyl art painting to honour her contribution to Hip-Hop. #monielove #hiphop #vinyart #vinyl #artvinyl #theartfulfro #artmeetsmusic

    Robert Glasper is 'Off The Wall'

    So random but what a pleasure to bump into pianist and producer Robert Glasper at Rotterdam airport after his performance at the North Sea Jazz Festival.  He mentioned how much he was a fan of Michael Jackson's album 'Off The Wall', so I created this piece for him.​ #robertglasper #soulmusic #jazz #northseajazzfestival #michaeljackson #vinylart #artvinyl #theartfulfro

    Lord Finesse is certainly Hip to the Game...

    The talented Hip-Hop producer/ artist and DJ Lord Finesse, is someone I have huge admiration for and have been a fan of his music since the 90's.  I painted two pieces for him.  The first was a commissioned portrait on his single 'Party Over Here'.  The second was on The Notorious B.I.G album 'Ready to Die’, on which Finesse produced the track 'Suicidal Thoughts'. #art #theartfulfro #biggiesmalls #notoriousbig #hiphop #vinylart #lordfinesse #vinylart #artvinyl

    The Fresh (DJ) Prince

    I am a huge fan of the adorable DJ Prince.  He has been DJing from such a young age and is already a recognised professional of his craft.  So when he asked to be featured on a vinyl art piece with one of his favourite rappers Big Daddy Kane how could I refuse? #theartfulfro #art #djprince #vinylart #artvinyl #dj #vinyl

    One of the UK's finest Hip-Hop artists, Brixton's very own 'Ty'.  This picture was taken after an incredible high energy performance at Chip Shop Brixton hosted by Itch FM.  I took the opportunity to present him with a vinyl art piece painted on his album 'A Special Kind of Fool'. #theartfulfro #vinylart #artviny #ty

    Rocking the airways with UK's finest Mr. Dex..

    In the run up to my 'Different Strokes' exhibition I was invited for an interview with Mr. Dex on his Itch FM show 'The DeX Files', to talk about all things art and music.  I love his show, so I presented him with a vinyl art painting of one of his favourite rapper's Ghostface Killah on his debut album 'Ironman' to say thank you for his support. #theartfulfro #art #artvinyl #vinyl #ghostfacekillah #mrdex #watchoutnow

    Pete Rock and CL Smooth

    Truly an honour to have met and one of my favourite Hip-Hop duos Pete Rock & CL Smooth after their performance at London’s Jazz Cafe. I created a personal piece on their classic single 'T.R.O.Y' which they kindly signed for me. Having previously met Pete, he spoke of his admiration for James Brown, whom he met as a kid. So I presented him with a vinyl art piece on his favourite James LP 'Reality'. #theartfulfro #art #vinylart #artvinyl #peterock #clsmooth #vinyl

    DJ Spinna

    This pic was taken at the Stevie Wonder tribute event 'WONDER-Full' hosted by the brilliant DJ Spinna.  I know he is a huge Stevie fan so it was great to know one of my paintings was going to a good home. #theartfulfro #djspinna #steviewonder #vinylart #artvinyl #artmeetsmusic

    Stepping Up with DJ Montay...

    I had a chance to meet Grammy Award nominated American DJ/ Producer and Songwriter Montay whilst on the set of a video shoot with T- Pain. He has worked with artists such as Flo -Rida, T- Pain, Akon and Ne-Yo . As well as work featured on movies such as Step Up 3D, Stomp The Yard and Norbit. I produced a canvas painting for him from images that he and I had taken during his London show. #theartfulfro #djmontay #hiphop #producer #artmeetsmusic
