Graffiti Artist Honors J. Cole With A Giant Mural In North Carolina

Graffiti artist JEKS created his latest masterpiece and this time it’s a giant J. Cole mural in Durham, North Carolina.

Imagine 40,000 square feet with murals of people who left their footprint and helped the people of North Carolina by anyways. This is the place where J. Cole got his recognition alongside other big names.

The image used for the creation of the mural is taken by the photographer Jonathan Mannion. For his contribution to North Carolina, his music, legacy, and his status in the rap industry right now, Cole deserved his place at the UHill Walls.
