Notorious B.I.G. Ready to Die by Paul Jackson (Main Edition)

"It was a huge honor to be asked to create a poster for Notorious B.I.G. on the 26th anniversary of Ready to Die. I remember hearing the record for the first time in the mid-90's and being blown away by it. It was a new wave of hip hop for me and I was hooked straight away. Biggie's vocals are second to none and thats why he remains the king! This poster was trying to reflect some of the grittiness of Brooklyn and NYC at the time, and reflect his song titles within that world. Biggie always stood strong so the pose is supposed to reflect that. I like the image being simple yet somewhat direct and confrontational - much like his music." - Paul Jackson
