SERPENTS: BEHIND THE COVER + More


When we discussed this photoshoot, Z Louie told me he wanted an album cover shot and edited in the style of Young Thug's "Bompton" album cover, and we were able to make his dream come to life. Shot inside the 5th Street Arcades on Euclid Avenue, this cover was a blast to photograph. Below you'll see the edited and unedited versions of the album cover and other shots from around Downtown Cleveland.
