Artwork for "Triple Black Diamonds" which is also my favorite release by Al.Divino & Estee Nack – so the more grateful I am that @fxckrxp gave me another opportunity to contribute my art for this vinyl reissue.
The outer sleeve is 100% reduced and just shows the “Triple Black Diamonds“ sign as a die cut.
“Triple Black Diamonds” stands for the highest level of difficulty in various disciplines – but mostly seen in the alpin sport. So if the original meaning of "Triple Black Diamonds" would be transferred to a rap album it could tell you: high consequence terrain, extreme track complexity or coldest rap ever.
And that is the reason why I came up with a oneliner (representing the 11 tracks as one big black-diamond run / slope) for the inner sleeve print, showing Al.Divino and Estee Nack as line art: if you don’t know, don’t go!
