Cey Adams has literally shaped the vision of the hip hop culture. His artistic flair, both as the designer of hundreds of classic album covers and as the developer of so many artists’ visual persona, is not only awe-inspiring but has moulded the memories of generations of hip hop fans around the world. We discuss Def Jam Records, the creative process behind such classic album covers as “Ready To Die” and “Fear Of A Black Planet”, as well as discussing the evolution of graphic design and album art in hip hop, citing such companies as Pen & Pixel and the recent boom in DIY online artwork. This 50 minute opus is absolutely timeless – please do not miss.
AND THAT’S NOT ALL!
Bilal joins us for a fruity interview, discussing his impressive catalog of work with such artists as Jay Z, Common, J Dilla and Guru. As heart-warming as you would expect, Bilal affectionately recalls studio sessions with Dilla and explains the creative studio process that Jay Z displays, as well as comfortably exploring his own place in hip hop and modern soul music.
