Yo fam, I hope you don't mind, but I loved your questions so much I wanted to use them for a whole separate blog on what this piece really means.

It's cool fam more discussion is always better. I'm still on the fence about a lot of the symbolism in it just because it can be read a couple of different ways and possibly used in ways that you or any other conscious brother might not really agree with.

Thanks bruh. And that's fine to be on the fence, I appreciate the feedback. As far as others viewing it and interpreting it how they want, as a fellow artist who know you can never control that.

Thanks for the thoughts and the questions fam.

1)The gun is just a tool to rapidly propel the bullets of Truth. Kill you with the truth metaphorically speaking.
2) "Realness", "honesty of self", etc. Example: Eminem spitting about his life in a trailer park as opposed to pretending he grew up in some kind of drive by gang.
3) Hearing Every Rhyme's Truth
4) This has biblical connections. Adam and Eve only covered themselves when they felt "shame" and "guilt". The nakedness symbolizes her comfort with self and lack of shame to expose her natural beauty.(She's not completely naked due my personal sensibilities and the fact I wanted her clothes to represent a hip-hop aesthetic.)
5) My statement isn't about overly sexualized imagery, so I'm not fighting that. If I were, I DO see the difference as comparing sex to making love. Both very similar but it's the message and intent that separates the two.
6) As stated above, she's not completely naked due my personal censorship, and at first I had her with just pieces of tape. Simple tape didn't do the piece justice however, so I designed some Egyptian themed brass covers to elevate the flair.
7) That's a heart tattoo with ventricles/speaker cables. The message being "wear your heart on your (sleeve)chest, and spit the Truth/Music from your heart. I was going to do a cartoony Valentine's day type of heart but once again I felt that wouldn't do the piece justice, so I went with an actual heart.
8) The speaker wires going into her mouth, connecting her heart to her voice which is the other instrument needed to deliver the message. The graffiti arrows in her hoody and jewelery. The Adinkra symbol for "energy" on her belt buckle. The mic being used as a silencer which ironically is an amplification device.
I think that's it.
Thanks again for the inquiries fam.
