Last Friday, rapper Gunna unveiled his latest album 'Drip Season 4' and in addition to the new tracks, the album artwork also grabbed the attention of fans alike. Prior to the drop, he and contemporary artist Daniel Arsham unveiled a look at the art online.
Created by Arsham, he designs a diamond-filled statue of Gunna wearing a diamond chain and angular blacksunglasses. This is photographed and then used as the album cover. Notably, the statue also boasts the iconic design language that is true to Arsham with his eroded aesthetic showcased across the rapper's face to unveil crystals lying behind the piece of work. A first glance at the art was showcased online by both artists' Instagrams.
