Self-reflection or a magic mirror?

Riding the wave of music from a culture that had struck such a powerful chord with me since my youth eventually began to feel slightly off-key.

Something was changing. A shift in harmony had created a sense of unease in the music.

I was experiencing life with two young children, and the music no longer reflected how I felt, with the exception of Brother Ali, Mos Def, and a few other artists who were still holding it down. Looking back, I can empathise with and understand how the slow loss of identity can feel alienating.

The subculture that had once inspired me now felt slightly darker — or maybe it had always been a beautiful fantasy.

Tech companies had pulled the plug on physical media, with one major L being Hip-Hop Connection magazine.

Fear and symbolism were recurring themes — elite secret societies, billion-dollar deals, and half-eaten apples (our minds) left spinning.

This piece came from that period and may be my only holiday-season offering that could just as easily be for Halloween.

Although shedding skin is traditionally seen as a symbol of renewal, I began searching for another path — one that acknowledged what was happening culturally while maintaining the perspective of the observer.

That path revealed itself through illustrating the films of Stanley Kubrick, beginning with A Clockwork Orange and then The Shining, although the most obvious choice for reflecting mainstream rap at the time would have been Eyes Wide Shut.
