Talib Kweli
I worked with Talib Kweli as part of Spitkicker. His 2004 album The Beautiful Struggle is one of the defining hip-hop records of that era.
The “Flash Gordon” single cover goes straight back to the 1980 film: the type, the palette, the sense of scale. It had to feel like it came from that era and still sit right in Talib’s catalog. I also made a promo tee built on a homage to the Harley-Davidson logo.
