R. Kelly – Write Me Back (Album Cover)

Staying true to his dapper Windy City ways, the self-proclaimed King of R&B unveiled his slick dual-covers for his anticipated project Write Me Back (due June 26th.) Returning back to Love Letter’s [era] spruce attire, Kells, who appears reasonably stylish in his signature black suit and matching shades, stands front and center as the main attraction in the bright standard edition, while on the vintage black and white deluxe edition (infused with all shades of colors on the title’s text), the rhythms and blues vet is visibly reaching for his feathery top-hat –quite possibly as a big “thank you” to those who supported real music on his previous release. Who am I kidding? He’s just probably saying, “I’ve been the staple and glue that’s held R&B down for umpteen years now….where’s my respect?” And, of course to his cocky competitors, “I’m an elephant and you a fly.” Hit the jump for a look at the album’s cover-shoot (via location at Club Play in Miami) along with the hi-res artwork(s).

Big K.R.I.T. – Live From The Underground (Album Cover)

After multiple delays, coupled with a mass amount of incredible mixtape material to tide fans over, Mississippi rapper Big K.R.I.T. is finally ready to drop his highly anticipated debut solo record, Live from the Underground, on June 5th. The Def Jam rap-star took to his official website to unveil the artwork for the forthcoming LP, and also provided a meaningful description of the cover:

This is the artwork 4 my debut album “Live From The Underground”. It’s a representation of how I feel about underground vs mainstream music. At times I feel like mainstream music operates on a totally different planet. This illustrates how I’ve crash landed into the mainstream to bring the sounds from the underground back 2 the forefront. I want to thank everyone for all their support of my journey so far. Especially Team Big K.R.I.T. and my K4L supporters. I put twitter and facebook backgrounds in here for y’all to put on your pages. Let’s make history on June 5th… – K.R.I.T.

“Watch The Throne” Original Artwork

The album is out —digitally— and subsequently, many have voiced their “professional” opinions (unfortunately). But enough of that. Here we are focusing on the project’s artwork. The original, golden cover as well as the work’s alternative creations were concocted by Riccardo Tisci. Clap for the gentlemen and be sure to check the additional imagery under the cut. Did the right piece make the cover?
