Here is another really fresh project that combines hip-hop with “art”, this just makes me want to take a trip to New York right now. Street artist Jason Shelowitz, better known as “Jay Shells”, popular for his political stances in the art world is taking his creativity to the streets combining rap lines & street signs… 
 
 

…It’s not as heavy as the Trustcorp movement but still quite dopeHe and ANIMAL teamed up to bring inspiring streets signs filled with lyrics from some of hip-hop’s finest that are then hung up in neighborhoods where the artists are from.

Here are a few of my personal favorites below:

Jay-Z - "Where I'm From (Marcy Son)"
