2 B Original

Love Decoded: To be original is a paint I did of Tobe Nwigwe, Fat, and Nell that I was able to get all 3 to sign.  In a time when everyone wants to be the next so and so, it is refreshing to find people willing to just be themselves and embrace that.   

These three are a Manifestation of the Original Forces and Elements of Hip Hop. There are Four Elements of Hip Hop that manifest differently within the culture: MCing (oral), Turntablism or DJing (aural), B-Boying (physical), Graffiti Art (visual).
