“It Ain’t Hard to Tell” is an original oil pastel artwork inspired by the influence of hip-hop, knowledge of self, and spiritual awareness. Drawing from the energy of Nas and the deeper teachings rooted in culture and consciousness, this piece blends music, identity, and symbolism into a unified visual expression.
Elements within the composition reference wisdom, legacy, and elevation—touching on themes found in 5% teachings and ancient Kemet philosophy. The imagery reflects a journey of awareness, discipline, and self-realization, where knowledge becomes power and identity becomes purpose.
Created using layered oil pastel and textured techniques, the artwork carries a raw and expressive surface, mirroring the complexity of thought and experience. Each detail contributes to a narrative of growth, awareness, and cultural depth.
Part of the Rooted Life Art collection by Toronto-based artist Yaw, this piece represents the intersection of hip-hop, spirituality, and self-knowledge.
Perfect for collectors of conscious art, hip-hop inspired artwork, and those drawn to symbolic, thought-provoking visuals.
