The rapper reportedly died in his sleep Saturday (August 8). He was 43.
Meres One created the portrait at 5 Pointz, where he was curator.
“All of his label would come to 5 Pointz,” Meres One says of Sean Price, a Brooklyn, New York rapper who recorded for Duck Down Music. “I had this wall for a year and I wanted to do a portrait. I just didn’t know who. It just was a perfect fit, one of the illest out of Brooklyn.”
Located at Bergen Street and Kingston Avenue in Brooklyn, the mural is about 20 feet by 15 feet.
