Priddy Ugly Reveals The Inspiration Behind ‘Soil’ Album Cover. It has been a month since rapper Priddy Ugly dropped his sophomore album, SOIL. The album has been well received by his fans and critics. The rapper has dropped a new SOIL Diaries video where he details the inspiration behind the cover art for his album and also speaks a little bit about the state of Hip Hop in the country and also gives a behind the scene view of what went down at the shoot for his music video, ‘Handful Of Dust’.
The album art cover for SOIL is an image of a boy with his fist up and behind him is a circle figure with colours red, white and black. Priddy had previously shared that the artwork speaks to his soul. In the SOIL Diaries, Priddy Ugly is seen in conversation with the artist, Tumisang Kalipha behind his interesting cover art. The two discuss the inspiration behind the artwork and give their interpretation of the artwork.
“I really don’t know what it was but even like when I just saw it bro it was just like it just felt like soil, like the colour. My favourite colour is red but when I was thinking about the Soil art cover, I was thinking of things like more earthy colours like wood, olive, greens brown or whatever. Just like encompass like both of them it’s like I saw like different images when I looked at the image it was like triumph it also looks like you know he’s lying in a bed of roses at the same time. It’s like powerful sad but also like dark but beautiful at the same time,” Priddy shared.
Tumi went to share his take on the artwork he said. “For people to understand my art they got to know, I’m talking about this raptured souls, I’m not talking about people as human beings, I’m talking about the inner soul that is within each and every one of us that is itching inside. In every way and in every page, it doesn’t have to be necessarily about this contaminated water or whatever sick stuff that you’re going through but this work’s got something to do with how we’re actually finding a way to heal this. You’ll find that in this works of mind what I’m searching for is inner peace,” the artist shared.
This is the third episode of SOIL Diaries on each episode Priddy Ugly gives his fans a proper inside look at the process of making the album. Different elements of creating the album are shown and also the people Priddy worked with are featured on the videos. The rapper previously shared a video on how songs were selected for the album.
