MASK OFF EP 12: Jonathan Mannion (pt. 2)

Mask Off with Hawaii Mike: The intersection of life, mental health and Hip-Hop culture.

Pt 2 with the top shotta.

You all know his work, I mean Jonathan Mannion is a legend behind the lens who has been documenting the culture for more than two decades. We moved to NYC around the same time and met through hip hop. Over the years we became friends and even worked together for stretch. We've seen and been through a lot so it was great to sit, kick it, and learn more about the cloth he's cut from. Oh, we talk a lot, had to break it into two parts.
