"SHAWN × SHALONDA" (Downtown Brooklyn, NYC circa. 1985)
Shawn Carter fka Jay-Z x Shalonda back in the hallway of George Westinghouse HS located in Downtown Brooklyn back in the late 80s.
Before he became the legendary rapper from Brooklyn known as Jay-Z, he was Shawn Carter. A young Black Man from Marcy Projects that attended George Westinghouse High School.
Here pictured with his homegirl Shalonda on a calm day in 80s Brooklyn, you can feel the youth & vibrance from this Immaculate Reflection.
The "REPRESENT" series is inspired the era of NYC that was shaped by a culture of Concrete Gods & Goddesses who were living in the moment & creating history with every day that passed.
Salute to Jigga & Ms. Shalonda Ross. Much love to the many Brothas & Sistas that went to Westinghouse!
