This Rap Song's Colorful Cover Art Has an Unusual Muse
Mishal Omar — July 14, 2016 — Art & Design
The colorful cover art for rap artist Desiigner's new single was inspired by a popular children's cartoon.
The artist rose to fame with his hit single 'Panda' and his new highly anticipated song is titled 'Timmy Turner.' Those who wondered if the song was only an accidental reference to the children's cartoon "Fairly Odd Parents" can stop guessing as the colorful cover art for this rap single is a direct homage to the show. The cover art shows Timmy Turner's house with Desiigner standing outside exhaling smoke, while the name of the song is emboldened in the same font that is unique to the show.
While rap music and children's cartoons are not normally associated with one another, Desiigner has managed to capture the attention of many by boldly fusing the two.
