This bold, typography-driven print reimagines The New York Times masthead with a lyrical nod to Wu-Tang Clan’s iconic 1993 track "C.R.E.A.M." (Cash Rules Everything Around Me). The text—"I GREW UP ON THE CRIME SIDE THE NEW YORK TIMES SIDE"—directly references the song’s opening bars, where Raekwon contrasts street life with aspirational media narratives. By overlaying Wu-Tang’s raw, poetic storytelling onto the Times’ institutional authority, the piece becomes a cultural critique of power, privilege, and whose stories get told.
