The work of artist Aaron Kizer will be featured as the cover art for “Gravitas,” the latest album from hip-hop pioneer, Talib Kweli. Kweli is a critically-acclaimed artist who emerged in the late ‘90s renaissance of conscious, Afrocentric hip-hop. This continues Kizer’s work with hip-hop artists. This past summer, Kizer’s paining of Kanye West was auctioned for charity, with 100% of the proceeds from the winning bid going to Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago, West’s charity of choice.
