Rakim, New York City, 1997

This print perfectly captures that quiet intensity Rakim had in the late 90s, and the black hoodie against the black-and-white backdrop makes the focus purely on his expression. It’s already framed and hanging in my listening room, looks sharp.

The contrast in this black-and-white shot is stunning — the way the hoodie disappears into the shadows really puts all the focus on his face and that quiet confidence. It's exactly the kind of print that makes you stop and study it every time you walk past.

This close-up of Rakim really captures that quiet confidence he's known for—the black hoodie and intense gaze make it feel like a moment frozen in time. The black-and-white print has a nice, matte finish that looks sharp on my wall.
