Jay-Z Album Covers – Where’s the Colour?

A few months ago, I posted Black and White / Monochromatic R&B Covers. This time around the focus if on hip-hop icon Jay-Z. Although his flow might have changed over the years, Jay-Z’ album artwork have been consistent though out. Aside from 1998’s Hard Knock Life, full colour has been absent from Jay’s album catalogue, instead, opting for a more toned down monochromatic and duotone look. Personally I prefer mono and duo tone artwork… anyway. Peep the artwork.
