On repeat, the CD of B.I.G.'s 'Me and My Bitch'.I ball for real: y'all niggas is Sam BowieĪnd with the third pick, I made the earth sickīut every time I hit the ground I bounce up like round ball. I am a hustler, baby, I'll sell water to a well I sell ice in the winter, I sell fire in hell.So hopefully you won't have to go through that. Like I told you sell drugs No, Hov did that Hov' is back, life stories told through rap.

My portraits aim to capture the sensibility, optimism and beauty of urban life, and in JAY’s work I’ve found tremendous kinship. It tells the story of someone from Brooklyn occupying the urban space-a place that is as central to my own work as it is to his. Jay’s album Reasonable Doubt changed the game 25 years ago, and continues to influence so many of us. "Over the years Jay has collected and supported my work, and so this collaboration is particularly fulfilling,” said Derrick Adams. “With this NFT project, we jointly embrace the opportunity to further the conversation about how artists of different mediums contribute to a more inclusive society. Titled Heir to the Throne, a reference to the original title of Reasonable Doubt, the auction opens on July 2 at 10 a.m. It will be sold on Sotheby’s through a single-lot auction, and it’s the only official event celebrating the album’s landmark anniversary to be authorized by Jay himself. Originally released on June 25, 1996, Reasonable Doubt launched Jay’s wildly successful rap career 25 years ago, and the new one-of-one animated artwork repurposes the original. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Jay-Z’s iconic debut album Reasonable Doubt, he teamed up with Sotheby’s to auction off a NFT with original artwork from Derrick Adams.
