Cover Art Something Visceral Vol.3

You may have already caught one of the two previous posts. If not, simply prepare yourself for some of the illest cover artwork released in the hip-hop spectrum.

Edan-Beauty And The Beat
For once anyway, you can judge a book by it's cover. Beauty And The Beat is apt to cause musical dyslexia, yet it still flows together in a beautifully esoteric way. One of those Pitchfork albums for intellecutals, nahmean? Fuck that low-brow bullshit, nothing stimulates the mind like an cover engulfed with dozens of cutouts of random black men.

Aim-Means Of Production
Aim often chooses oft-kilter images as his artwork, that bear only a small relation to the title of his opuses. It's dope to think that dukes probably found this image in some oft-forgotten place, and now it adorns Means Of Production.

Gravediggaz-Six Feet Deep
This is that gully album cover that the Wu always lacked. Six Feet Deep just screams 'fuck ya moms'.

Theory Hazit-Lord Fire
I can't say I'm too big a fan of Theory Hazit's, but his Ohmega Watts commissioned album art is remarkably good. Words can't speak for the illness above.

EPMD-Strictly Business
There ain't shit to criticize on this cover. Erick & Parrish sittin' in the studio, about to make some dollars, what's fuckin' with that?
