Artwork

edit

The cover was created by PHASE 2, a popular graffiti artist in New York. "Boogie Knight hooked that up," Malloy said in an interview, "as a matter of fact. That was crazy, we had a whole Egyptian thing going on with the pyramids and being born on January 13th, 1964 - Phase dug deep on that. Me and Boogie always talked about old R&B who had album covers we used to love, like Earth, Wind & Fire. So yeah, that cover was crazy."[3]
