From The Queen Chronicle:
Several of the works in “Presenting” draw their inspiration from contemporary issues in the black community. In one exceptional print by Barbados-born artist Kolongi, dozens of popular rap and hip-hop musicians are crowded together. Near the center of the crowd are images of Curtis Blow and Run-DMC framed by Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G. The piece has particular import following the murder of Run-DMC disk jockey Jam Master Jay last month. Shakur and B.I.G. were murdered in 1996 and 1997, respectively.
