The Visual Style of Southern Hip-Hop

I’m love music and I’m little bit of a geek (aka … I like to learn). So put the two together and it’s a pleasure.

Nosisey has launched a new series —Noisey Design— which focuses on the artists who create the iconic sleeves and album artwork for our favorite musicians. First up is legendary graphic design company Pen & Pixel and founder Shawn Brauch. The Houston-based company’s aesthetic defined the visuals of southern hip-hop stars in the late 90s and early 00s, with everyone from Master P to Ghetto Boys to Lil Wayne.
