The Notorious B.I.G. Screen Print by Paul Jackson x Collectionzz

Collectionzz has teamed up with artist Paul Jackson for the next poster in their Iconic by Collectionzz screen print series commemorating another legendary moment in music history. Check out this epic The Notorious B.I.G. screen print by Paul Jackson! For this release, Collectionzz worked directly with Biggie’s estate to commemorate the 26th anniversary of his debut album, Ready to Die, which is considered by many to be the best rap album ever made.

“It was a huge honor to be asked to create a poster for Notorious B.I.G. on the 26th anniversary of Ready to Die. I remember hearing the record for the first time in the mid ‘90s and being blown away by it. It was a new wave of hip hop for me and I was hooked straight away. This poster was trying to reflect some of the grittiness of Brooklyn and NYC at the time, and reflect his song titles within that world. Biggie always stood strong so the pose is supposed to reflect that. I like the image being simple yet somewhat direct and confrontational - much like his music.” – Paul Jackson
