Rashaad Newsome

If you were around New York City a few weeks ago and spotted a custom Lamborghini then you were fortunate enough to see a moving  piece of art from Rashaad Newsome. Newsome recently collaborated with Solange Knowles to promote her debut record label’s album Saint Heron that took us back to the classic way of selling music out of the trunk. This trunk happened to be in the front of the car with a decked out design.  But the New Orleans native does more than vehicle design, his paintings and video art shows his love for the Hip-Hop culture by fusing it with the rich African art and pop culture. His stand out piece beside the look of Saint Heron is the Duke of Nola. The collage features Juvenile and breathes the New Orleans culture.
