Illustrator Ali Graham has produced a series of graphic guides to each of Jay-Z’s supposed 99 Problems.
The blog, named after Jay-Z’s signature track, reimagines all the troublesome situations Hov might find himself in. Some relate to his song titles and lyrics, others to the more mundane everyday irks we all have, a couple – though – are just downright surreal.
As The 405 note, Graham is uploading a different problem every day, currently at #41 at the time of publishing.
