SLEEVEMIX
Sleevemix is an ongoing visual series mapping the genetic connection between definitive hip-hop records and the original vinyl samples that birthed them.
The project functions as a premium cultural collage—translating audio lineage into a distinct, tactile universe. Each entry in the series explores the intersection of music history, character illustration, and visual curation, filtering iconic musical moments through a soulful, highly stylized lens to capture the architects and energy of the culture.
This is an independent, evolving studio series. New tracks added as they are cut.
