JAY-Z AS...THE AMERICAN GANGSTER
From the moment Jay-Z heard about the film American Gangster, the Brooklyn born rapper wanted in. The hype around the movie helped birth Hova's "first concept album," his personal rap version of American Gangster. Playing like a movie, the album absorbs you with stories about drug dealing and a life of crime.
Just as Jay-Z was inspired by the movie, this t-shirt was inspired by Jay's contribution to the American Gangster movement. This dope negative-space designed screen-print masterfully recreates the American Gangster theme using the God emcee, Jay Hova.
