British rapper and grime artist Big Zuu is taking his talents beyond the stage, marking a new venture that makes hydration fun for everyone. Named Drip, the natural mineral water is changing the way you drink still and sparkling liquids — breaking boundaries with bold can designs that eliminate single-use plastics.

Big Zuu and Olaolu Slawn are bringing something new to the table, joining the celebrated artist to launch his “Drip Curates” art series. The MC is championing his local community, enlisting Slawn for a one-off artwork in his signature graffiti style.

Exclusively on display at Brighton’s Helm Gallery, the artwork is blasted on a convertible car, featuring Slawn’s signature smiling cartoon illustrations in black-and-white hues. “Drip is, first and foremost, a lifestyle brand, so we wanted to find a way to celebrate the brand’s identity and cultural background. I’m excited about making waves in this space — it always feels good to come together with other creative minds and make new and exciting art,” says Big Zuu on the launch.

Take a closer look at the artwork in the gallery above.
