Update: Brandon Boyd & Hip-Hop

Let me start off by mentioning that NO! Brandon Boyd is not singing hip hop now. But I have discovered a project to finally portray my music idol! So happy about that and can't wait to see what turns out.

The hip hop part...well I'm obsessed with the music of Cage (Chris Palko/Cage Kennylz) and his contemporaries. I recently switched my musical tastes yet again and have settled on underground hip hop, which is a lot more interesting and creative than the musical stylings of mainstream "hip hop" (Waka Flacka for instance). But as it happens, I got into this genre a little late. Still, I love Cage's music so much now, I had to incorporate him in one of my works:

I tried to stay true to his personality and give the image a gritty feel, and also rep Brooklyn with the BK Bridge in the background. (See my Portfolio HERE) Any Susan Burghart fans will probably recognize the "crinkled paper" technique. And yeah, he does resemble the Biebs a little. I feel a complete rendition of "Cardboard City" is in the near future.
