There's always a reason to visit!

Damn that is actually so cool. You should've posted this to the tag "thecut" too, that is the Hip-Hop community group for Steemit :)

Cool - I'll look into it - thanks for the 411.

Woah, that must have had some kind of...what do you call it...like ...stencil? Right?

I’m more into 2pac, don’t care if it’s west or east :-P

😂Lol - you were way off - but in the ballpark...

It's a graffiti mural, tribe with spray paint, and the rapper is The Notorious Biggie Smalls. Oh and east coast rap - not that you care. Lol

Thanks for commenting. Greetings from the east coast of 🇺🇲.

.thanks for this shot....you are creating history......a visual log of art that might not be there the next day
.as a street artist....we appreciate the photographers that capture our work most because a lot of times we finish and don't get an opportunity to catch photos of the final piece....thank you for caring about fine art on the street ❤️

Thanks for commenting. Graffiti is a very transient art - it doesn't last forever.
