“For @lloydbanks and his team to put their trust and faith in me to create this photograph for his brand new album is the greatest honor for me as a black man and a fellow New Yorker who grew up on his music since high school. Every moment in this blood and sweat filled journey has led to this right here. Even on a socio-political level, to see black men dispelling that myth that black men are not in their kids’ lives, this was a project that was personal to me to photograph. We often hear that bullshit, and its far from the truth. From the first time a black man put a camera in my hand in grade school to right now. It aint over though. I got alot of work to get done.Cant wait for this album to come out! “
