THE BIG 7
Never in the history of hip hop or music period has there ever been someone to release 7 albums at one time... until now. Houston's own living legend K-Rino is soon to release The Historical Big 7 Collection. I present to you the seven covers, all with totally different concepts. Album Art + Layout Design Commissioned by K-Rino Art Direction + Design: James E. Walker Photography + Illustration: James E. Walker
