There exists a form of homage that supersede​s convention, one that has no rule book. In writing, it can be called an unauthorized biography that hasn't received permission from an estate. In the vaporwave genre, it can be called plunderphonics etc. These reimagined covers have taken shape and whilst sculpting and expanding (over a year long process), the fervor and passion is apparent as the blessings continue to re-emerge. You'll hear new thoughtful arrangements, experimentations, lyric variations and expository fragments contrasting the cherished and beloved OGs.
