AMERICA DELICIOUS, 2017

Acrylic on wood, 20 x 39 in. Signed and dated "2017" on reverse. 

Legendary Philly rapper Schoolly D started his career as a visual artist before going on to create the first gangsta rap record ever, entitled P.S.K. What Does It Mean? in 1985; his work would go on to influence countless artists, including Eazy-E and Ice-T, who discussed Schoolly D's influence on him in his autobiography. 

The present work figures from the artist's America Delicious series, and depicts a Black & White American flag, in stark contrast to the bright colors of the words "America Delicious" being spraypainted softie-style by a female hand.
