Marvel Comics has shared a new series of variant covers inspired by contemporary and classic hip-hop album artwork. It features tributes to albums by artists such as Tyler, the Creator, Wu-Tang Clan, Notorious B.I.G, A$AP Rocky, Lauryn Hill, Dr. Dre, De La Soul, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Eric B. & Rakim, 50 Cent and A Tribe Called Quest. This is just the first batch though – more than 50 covers are planned to be created.
