Drawing the cover for When You Step on a Tiger’s Tail (47 seconds)
No studio budget. No art director. Just my hands, a pencil, and something I needed to say.
—
Every project starts somewhere. For this one, it started with a pencil.
I have always believed the music and the visuals should come from the same place. If I am rapping about pressure, instinct, and moving with purpose, the artwork should carry that same energy. So instead of outsourcing it, I sat down and drew the cover myself.
The image is simple but intentional. It is me face to face with a tiger. Not running from it. Not fighting it. Just acknowledging what it is. When you step on a tiger’s tail, you have already crossed the line. At that point there is no pretending you did not know what you were doing. The moment demands courage, awareness, and a willingness to live with the consequences.
That is what this EP represents to me. Growth always comes with pressure. Every new level brings something bigger staring back at you.
Sometimes the only thing left to do is stand there and meet its eyes.
The tiger awakens.
