Art in Music : Exhibit A - Hebru Brantley x Takeoff

Visual artist Hebru Brantley created The Last Rocket cover art for Migos member Takeoff’s solo debut album.   Brantley has integrated his signature character, complete with goggles & rocket in the likeness of Takeoff.  This masterful artwork is in tune with Hebru’s futuristic Black Superhero ethos.  He has created countless murals as well as highly sought after paintings and sculptures of ‘Flyboy’ along with female accomplice ‘Lil Mama’. In December 2019 Brantley opened a theme park called NEVERMORE in his native Chicago which is an amazing immersive art experience into his universe.
