Located in Durham, 80 miles north of Cole’s Fayetteville home, JEKS’ art takes a portrait taken by photographer Jonathan Mannion and transforms it into a giant tribute.

“Another collaboration with legendary photographer @jonathanmannion of NC hiphop legend @realcoleworld for @uhillwalls in Durham NC,” JEKS wrote. “It was such an awesome few days surrounded by 40+ other artists killing it. Huge thanks to @abvagency and Xavier for running a tight ship.”

Even more fitting is the fact JEKS is also from North Carolina.

JEKS started out spray painting tags as a kid and has painted various Hip Hop artists throughout his career.

“I was introduced to graffiti in my early teens through a friend in Boy Scouts actually haha,” he told Spray Planet. “I started with skateboarding and putting up super shitty tags around Winston-Salem. As I got more educated and into the culture thanks to meeting some established writers like EVADE, SCAR, and JAT to name a few influential OGs, I started piecing and became more active and consistently painting freights and walls.”

His previous work includes Method Man, Outkast, The Notorious B.I.G. and others.

Over the weekend, an Instagram user stopped by the mural of Cole and showed off more art on display at the UHill Walls.

“It’s like an outdoor art experience,” they wrote. “It’s over 40,000 square feet full of murals paying tribute to many men and women who have influenced culture all from NC. SUPER dope!”
