A portrait expressing hip hop through fashion from the past and present, projecting to possibilities of the future. The mic is at the centre to hone in on the message and values that hip hop speaks through words which then manifest into other pillars in life. On the left is the past, which will be expressed through old school fashion and an "alleyway like" background. On the right, hip hop is expressed through the fashion of today and a background that has tech features representing the future possibilities. The two sides are also like night and day, we need to recognize both, or rather all three for balance, recognition of roots, and continued evolution.
