In this image we are introduced to Drake, a Canadian Jewish rapper in the central point of the album cover. The cover represents Drake as being a large star who holds power and wealth as well as a high status within the music industry. This album cover portrays the conventional features of which an hip-hop/Rap artist holds such as the large array of golden coloured props which can be seen within the frame. This use of gold contrasted with the black colours suggest both wealth and power making him seem opulent

which can be related to other artists within the same musical genre, a typical view of a rap artist is one of them covered in high end jewellery such as chains and watches. When looking at the props used in the image a golden owl can be seen. This links to his other music project called OVOXO with an artist, The Weeknd.. The OVO represents a face of an owl, drake, and the XO represents The Weeknd. This symbolism is clever as it helps to link the album with different music projects he is already committed to. The way in which the artist is

looking away from the camera down at the table shows how the artist has been positioned to look emotional and deep, again linking to his music . The typography can be looked upon as being quite feminine yet simplistic, this relates to Drake’s emotional style to his music, while being positioned in the bottom left in a medium sized font shows that the name of the album is not the most important item needed. Neither the name of the album or the name of the artist is not extremely prominent, this suggests that

Drake is now high ranking within the music industry and the world he works in. The setting and background of could be of a country club or within a mansion. Furthermore relating to his wealth and the life he is living now he has become famous. This front cover image can be seen as being contrasting to other rap/hip-hop artist albums, instead of being sat in front of an expensive car being arrogant about their wealth, instead Drake is being reserved about his powerful and wealthy life style.
