Next week, Jonathan Mannion will appear at Back in the Days!, an annual Hip Hip festival started back in 2006 that showcases photography, music, graffiti and print graphics from rap’s golden era during the 80s and 90s. Having shot five different album covers for Jay-Z and done photography for nearly every artist in the hip hop scene from Lil Wayne to Pharrell, Mannion will join other artists, photographers and performers for the festival on Sunday March 27 at La Bellevilloise in Paris.
JIGGA
#SATURDAYRECOMMENDATIONS: MUSIC
Probably Jay-Z’s most underrated and unappreciated album ever released, Kingdom Come may be his most lyrical entry because Jigga was in a total different state of life when the album released.
Kingdom Come is based off the DC storyline (entitled the same as the album), When Superman and the other heroes step away and all the younger heroes are ruining the state of the world, which causes the old heroes to return to set the world where it was. Much like the comic story, When Jay-Z stepped away it’s like hip hop was going away and couldn’t survive without the presence of Jay-Z or so he felt.
Also, the album have a continuing theme of Maturity, as Jay-Z speaks on how he moved on from his younger tactics and see the world from a greater perspective.
Standout Tracks:
1. The Prelude
