Title is taken from a notable line in Notorious B.I.G.'s classic, Juicy. I can still remember playing hip-hop tapes in my little boom-box. The Golden Age of Hip-Hop.
Another famous line from one of the greats, Nas. He espouses his thoughts on his home of New York in the song, N.Y. State of Mind. He tells us that he "don't sleep", which means that he's never caught off guard, and how to do such could mean his very end.
One image repeated multiple times and arranged in various ways. The image is an experiment in a spatial relationship and the illusion of space in art. Also, I wanted to pay homage to Japanese classic art.
