Rap Album Birthday Cards

This Life of Pablo Merchandise is an Unofficial Birthday Card

— February 27, 2016 — Pop Culture
Ever since the release of Kanye West's seventh studio album, The Life of Pablo merchandise has been taking the Internet by storm. In addition to official merchandise that was on sale at Kanye's Yeezy Season 3 fashion event in Madison Square Garden, a slew of DIY enthusiasts have also released their own celebratory products, inspired by the music release.

Referencing the album's cover art, some of Etsy's most memorable The Life of Pablo merchandise includes track list poster art, statement tees and this themed birthday card.

Rather than spelling out Kanye's latest track list or album name, this greeting repeats a 'Happy Birthday' slogan and is accented with the same typography that adorn the hip-hop album's familiar cover.
