It may be New Music Friday but, every week, I find myself more excited to see which covers Marvel applied their talents to rather than the release of MC Stab-N-Kill’s new album.
Last week, Ice Cube, Method Man, Snoop Dogg, and Digable Planets received variants. And now, it’s time for JAY Z’s The Black Album, 2Pac’s Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z., Mos Def’s The New Danger, Souls of Mischief’s ’93 til Infinity, and Run-DMC’s King of Rock to get the remix treatment.
“We’re modern mythology that’s stayed relevant for decades because we reflect the world around us,” Marvel’s Editor-In-Chief Axel Alonso tells REVOLT. “These Hip-Hop covers is Marvel shouting back to decades of Hip-Hop artists. We want the dialog to increase.”
As usual, each cover is provided in .gif form for easier consumption. Take a look below and be sure to check out our exclusive interview with Axel Alonso as well.
