Jay-z proclaimed in Watch The Throne: "Basquiats, Warhols serving as my muses/ My house like a museum."

Recently the hip-hop deity and art aficionado took his well-documented love for Jean-Michel Basquiat to the next level, buying a portrait of the artist entitled "Holy Grail" made by none other than Swizz Beatz for the Children’s Cancer & Blood Foundation.

The artwork was inspired by William Coupon's iconic photograph of Basquiat.

The star-studded exchange was documented on Swizz' Instagram with the enthusiastic caption "Art Life!!! I will use proceeds to continue helping kids in need." Basquiat is portrayed in all his eclectic glory atop the hood of a Mercedes Benz.

We have to say we're impressed by the quality of Swizzy's work, not that we're surprised. Beatz previously collaborated with spot-happy Damien Hirst on a series of spin paintings and even expressed plans to open an art gallery of his own.
