iLLLogick:
The Visual Story of a Phoenix
iLLLogick - Shine For Yourself | The Art of Self-Belief Image Description / Portfolio Caption: Kicking off the iLLLogick catalogue, this is the cover art for "Shine For Yourself," an anthem of self-reliance and authentic ambition. The artwork captures the song's core message perfectly. The figure isn't facing an audience for validation; he's standing with his back to the viewer, facing the spotlight on his own terms. It's a powerful visual for an artist choosing to "Shine For Yourself." The dynamic red and blue lighting symbolizes the two sides of the artist's lyrical persona: the raw, aggressive energy and the cool, creative focus. He stands confidently at the intersection of both. As the graphic designer for this piece, my goal was to create an empowering image that felt both energetic and deeply personal, reflecting an artist stepping into his own power within the 3NIGMA BRED MUSIC collective.

Marking a historic and successful moment for the label, this is the cover for "Overtime," the first official 3NIGMA BRED MUSIC collaboration. Proving the power of their partnership, the track has amassed nearly 50,000 streams to date and brings together iLLLogick and Grim Logick for a powerful track exploring the high-stakes pursuit of legacy. The artwork's morbid elegance serves as a visual metaphor for the song's dual perspectives. The central image—a golden, jeweled "Overtime" chain draped over a skull—represents both the immense value of the prize they're fighting for and the life-or-death stakes of the game. iLLLogick's ambitious verse embodies the pursuit of the "gold," while Grim Logick's harrowing retrospective is the voice of the "skull"—a stark reminder of the cost of the fight. As the inaugural and highly successful collaboration for the label, this piece is a cornerstone of the 3NIGMA BRED MUSIC narrative, establishing the brand's ethos of artists building upon each other's journeys to create one complex, powerful story.

iLLLogick - Double Meaning | The Phoenix of Ambition Image Description / Portfolio Caption: This is the cover for iLLLogick's "Double Meaning," a track built on clever wordplay and the relentless ambition to succeed. The artwork's central image—a fiery phoenix rising over a city—is a direct visualization of the lyrics, "I'm the phoenix in the flame, rising higher through the ash." It's a powerful symbol of rebirth and resilience. The split-screen design masterfully illustrates the song's title; on one side, the phoenix rises from the dark rubble of past struggles, while on the other, it emerges over a pile of cash, representing the successful future born from that grind. This visual duality is the core "Double Meaning." As the designer, the intent was to create a triumphant and aspirational image that captured the song's lyrical dexterity and its narrative of turning struggle into success for the 3NIGMA BRED MUSIC collective.

This is the cover for iLLLogick's "Spirit," a deeply introspective track that explores themes of isolation, faith, and finding strength from within. The artwork immerses the artist in a swirl of ethereal, colorful smoke. This smoke is the physical manifestation of the song's title—it represents his "Spirit," his internal world of thoughts, beliefs, and creative energy. The solitary figure captures the profound sense of isolation in the lyrics, while visually echoing the song's David vs. Goliath theme: a single man standing firm against overwhelming odds, armed only with his spirit and his plan. The vibrant colors suggest that even in loneliness, a powerful and divine creative energy is at work. This piece for the 3NIGMA BRED MUSIC catalogue showcases iLLLogick's spiritual and vulnerable side, using a rich, atmospheric aesthetic to tell a story of inner resilience.

This is the cover for iLLLogick's "Shut Out (612)," a raw and vulnerable track that navigates heartbreak in the digital age. The artwork is a conceptual rendition of a "snapstreak," with the number in the title signifying the 612-day streak that was broken the day before his lover's birthday, adding a devastatingly personal detail to the story. The three symbols act as modern hieroglyphs for the relationship's end. The messy 'X' represents the abrupt rejection. The multi-colored flame is a direct reference to the lyric, "When does sadness turn to anger? Accelerant to flame," symbolizing the complex mix of passion and pain. Finally, the glowing hourglass signifies the agonizing wait for answers and the feeling of time running out. This piece for the 3NIGMA BRED MUSIC catalogue uses minimalist iconography to convey a deeply personal and uniquely modern narrative of digital-age heartbreak and the painful silence of being "Shut Out."
