Renowned designer Virgil Abloh tragically passed away Sunday at the age of 41. While battling silently with a rare form of cancer, he continued to pour out the mastery of his craft. From styling the greats, to designing for one of the most iconic fashion houses, he leaves an enormous legacy in his wake.
Virgil Abloh was known for his close-working relationship with Kanye West. He assisted in crafting modern fashion with his unique taste. He created his brand Off-White in 2013, leading to a partnership with Louis Vuitton in 2018. Although he was vastly known for his work in fashion, his influence on hip-hop has been cemented for years to come. Let’s dig a little deeper.
The Virgil Abloh Influence
The culture of rap and hip-hop, especially its overlap with fashion and streetwear, is the foundation of Abloh’s designs. He both marveled at the culture and influenced it, without rapping. With today’s hottest rappers mentioning his name, he didn’t have to drop a verse.
“Life Is Good”- Future ft. Drake
“Haven’t done my taxes I’m too turnt up. Virgil got a Patek on my wrist goin nuts.”
“Surf”- Young Thug ft. Gunna
“Virgil been sending me drip just to see if I like it, or rockin wit it.”
“Virgil Discount”- 2 Chainz ft. Skooly
“Walked out of Louis lookin like a Virgil discount, if it ain’t a hundred, its a miscount.”
His Cover Art Genius
With Abloh’s catalog is not lengthy enough, why not add album cover curator to the list? Cover art, like rap music itself, is it’s own art form. It gives a listening eye to what’s expected of the album. Here are some of the most iconic albums and covers that illustrate Abloh’s design genius:
Kanye West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
Released in 2010, Abloh was a credited designer on the cover art for Kanye’s masterpiece. Abloh enlisted George Condo to produce several pieces to showcase throughout the album art. Although some of the controversial images were frowned upon, they pushed the boundaries on what rap album covers would look like. Condo expressed, “Virgil makes things happen, intrinsically knowing that his talent is to move into an electric field and create a transcendent art experience for our people.” This insert is from Abloh’s Figures of Speech book.
Jay-Z and Kanye West’s Watch The Throne
Watch The Throne was undoubtedly one of the greatest albums to slam hip-hop lover’s ears. Two greats collaborated on a hype, flashy, luxurious album. Virgil illustrated the theme of the album effortlessly, creating an intricate gold plaque. It was truly fitting for the hip-hop throne.
Kid Cudi’s WZRD
Kid Cudi and close friend Virgil foreseeably collaborated to produce this simple but futuristic design. As Cudi put it, his “ahead of the curve” designs placed him a step ahead of other designers on this 2012 project.
A$AP Rocky’s Long.Live.A$AP
This classic album, dropped 2014 and released on streaming last month, set a young A$AP Rocky apart from the rest. As if the name wasn’t enough, the album cover made this one easily recognizable. To put it another way, Virgil showed undeniable talent. The grey tones exhibited timelessness, hence “long live.”
Celebrating Abloh’s life
After news of Abloh’s passing, Kanye West dedicated his Sunday service to his longtime friend. While this dedication was fitting, it was a tough pill to swallow for Ye. As creative director of Donda, Abloh’s magic touch will be missed, but lasting. Kanye enlisted Adele to sing her hit “Easy on Me” in Abloh’s memory.
This is surely a difficult time for his family, friends, and admirers. All of us at FMHipHop.com send our condolences to Abloh’s friends, family and fans.

Rick Ross has revealed that his new album, “Richer Than I’ve Ever Been”, is going on sale on December 10. This will be yet another installment to his already esteemed Maybach Music Group record label. The “King of Wingstop” is definitely channeling a “rich” persona on this cover art.
The “Richer Than I’ve Ever Been” album cover Rozay shared via Instagram @richforever
This is going to be Ross’s 11th studio album. He was originally planning on releasing it at the beginning of the year, but he delayed it. He did so to perfect the album. Although he has kept fans satisfied by generously previewing snippets of unreleased album cuts, Ross has kept details relatively close to his chest.
Ross is extremely proud of this album and thinks that it is his best one yet. Back in September, he had said this in “The Bakari Sellers” podcast. “Really I feel this is the best album. I make progress every day. The words I use, the positions I’m in, the things I’m able to say. Some of the stuff I’m saying on the album gon’ separate this album from others. A lot of people are going to say Rozay shouldn’t have did thaaaat. I think I should. Why not? That’s what the game needs. I’m only going to bring what the game needs.”
Giving the game what it needs
“The game needed a boss like myself,” he continues. “Somebody to give us the perspective of the back of the classroom. The game needed somebody with that ambition and drive after accumulating that much success, wealth. Still collaborating with young, unsigned artists. Still bringing youngsters into the promised land.” He has also said that the album will give “that uncut Rozay” and a 2006-2007 feel, in a different interview.
The highly anticipated, Richer Than I Ever Been, album will be available Dec. 10.
