When photographer Igoris Taran first met Jim Legxacy in 2021, a lasting friendship took root.
Even then, the rapper and producer was carving out a lane of his own, blending restless experimentation with diaristic flair and drawing on lived experience to fuel his vivid storytelling.
This year, Taran documented Jim Legxacy’s first UK tour in support of ‘Black British Music’ – a full-circle moment

For the ‘Black British Music’ tour, Jim Legxacy stepped foot in North America for the first time—and his photographer and friend Igoris Taran was there to capture it. Here are some of the many moments he captured in NYC and Toronto.
A note from Igoris: “Jim is one of the most hardworking and down to earth people I know, and this is only just the start. Seeing people come together, from all over the world, and sing their hearts out to his songs gives me goosebumps every time. Toronto and New York were incredible, and to be able to witness his journey so far has been nothing short of a privilege. Shoutout Jim, Luke, Jan, Lowi, Anton and Rohan - love you guys.”

Got to travel with my brother Jim around the country and document his art and the community he’s created with it. There aren’t any words to really describe what I was lucky enough to witness throughout that week in September but just know it was so special.
This is only just the start.
Thank you for your trust Jim, Luke.
