I sent him a bunch of art that I said I would love to flip and he selected The Economist ad.
Drake thank me later album cover art free#
Oliver gave me free reign to come up with something. Every rapper you know wants their face on their artwork, and it got to a point that it was super annoying to me. No one knew what they wanted, but they knew they wanted something different. Life's funny, cause at the time I just finished listening to Room For Improvement, so I was excited to be apart of the next big artist from the city.

He texted me right after we got off the phone and he was like, 'Are we becoming the men that our mothers divorced?' That's really where the cover comes from, too. "One night we were having a discussion about women and the way we were talking about them. "The whole tape extends from one of my closest friends, Oliver," Drake said about So Far Gone during an interview with Complex in 2009. The EP's cover had a white background with "DRAKE SO FAR GONE" in bold, black letters, and red hearts and money spilling from above. SO FAR GONE AN OCTOBER'S VERY OWN PRESENTATION" with money cascading down. The cover art for the So Far Gone mixtape featured the silhouette of a kid standing on top of white bold letters that spelled out "DRAKE. "Best I Ever Had." "Successful." "Houstatlantavegas." In February 2009, Drake released So Far Gone-his third mixtape, which he later sold as an EP. There's been a lot of talk about the Views album cover art, but let's take it back to 2009, when it all started for Drake. Even Drake got in on the fun last night and Photoshopped himself into photos of Rihanna, Future, PARTYNEXTDOOR, and more to tease the features on Views. The album cover art, shot by Caitlin Cronenberg, was turned into memes-and plenty of them. Leading up to the release, he dominated the conversation in music, and on our timelines. Last night, Drake dropped his highly-anticipated album Views.
