Succumb Album Art - Lil Known Facts



Dude, Havanah Maxie KILLED this album artwork... she's quite the designer beast! A lotta muffoccurs have been asking about the significance of the visuals, so we thought we'd give a lil insight/fun-facts about how it came to be...

1.) We all know how much Tshurhad Chivas LOVES his ties... the problem was that he wasn't happy with how the wind had twisted it all up on the original album photo. Not to worry! HavMax knew she could easily "photoshop" his tie into its proper position... lol, chuch!

2.) Our photoshoot took place at the homie Floyd The Fourth's backyard/courtyard. During the middle of the shoot, he pulls out this big dopeass boombox as a prop, just playing around... it ends up inspiring the whole concept behind our album theme/identity. Thanks Bud!

3.) The tie around HavMax's head was originally to be worn properly around her neck... but at the last-minute, she thought it would be dope to rock it bohemian-headband style. It just kinda worked... can u say new fashion trend?!

4.) The global figure in the background represents the Earth & the moon all in one... it's life & death while also representing the dual nature of man, yin & yang, conflict & balance, all that good stuff.

5.) The geometrical-circular pattern behind us is called the "Flower of Life". According to wikipedia and other sacred sources, it represents "a visual expression of the connections life weaves through all sentient beings." The intricate design possesses every-known shape or form within itself. So basically it represents everything universal... sorta like the sound of Kinky Notti.

6.) The boombox represents "audio ammunition" which we use to combat this world of turmoil. On it we've placed our one common wish: PEACE TO THE BABIES!
