EXCLUSIVE: Strength in NUMBERS Featuring ANN ONE by Jamie Noguchi

September 26, 2013 The Nerds of Color

On Tuesday, we dropped the first three “variant” album covers for Chops’ latest project Strength in NUMBERS. And Wednesday saw the release of the video for “Keep On,” the lead single from the album and also the long anticipated, fifteen-years-in-the-making return of Chops, Peril-L, and Styles Infinite, a.k.a. the legendary Mountain Brothers.

In the video, you might have noticed a “sis” joining the Bros on the track. That would be the one and only Ann One singing the hook.

You may recall that Chops and I worked with a dozen and a half artists to create individual album covers for each of the emcees, singers, and DJs on the album. And starting with Jamie Noguchi‘s take on Ann One below, the rest of the digital album covers will be available here at The Nerds of Color exclusively.

After the jump, you will be able to download a high-resolution jpeg of the latest Strength in NUMBERS “variant” album cover. Just right-click on the image and save.

For the latest Strength in NUMBERS alternate album cover, artist Jamie Noguchi (creator of the webcomic Yellow Peril and a founder of Super Art Fight and The Jamie Noguchi System™) brings his unique vision to this illustration of Ann One on the mic.
