Buzzi Lee Reveals The Inspiration Behind Her Cover Art For Her Single “Young Star”

Buzzi Lee Reveals The Inspiration Behind Her Cover Art For Her Single “Young Star.” In a recent social media post that caught the attention of fans and music lovers alike, Pretoria-based rap star Buzzi Lee opened up about the personal and artistic influences behind the striking cover art for her latest single, Young Star.

The artist revealed that the inspiration for the cover came from two iconic album covers that blend family, artistry, and raw emotion. Both The Game’s The Documentary (2005) and Riky Rick’s Family Values albums played a pivotal role in shaping the visual concept of her release.

For The Documentary, The Game famously graced the cover holding his baby in a tender yet powerful embrace. The image encapsulated the balance between vulnerability and strength—qualities that resonated deeply with Buzzi Lee, who has always emphasized the importance of family and personal growth in her music.

Similarly, Family Values by the late rapper Riky Rick also features an image of him holding his child, symbolizing the bond between father and child and the duality of being both a nurturing figure and a powerful force in the world. Riky Rick’s ability to fuse personal identity with artistry left a lasting impression on Buzzi Lee, inspiring her to incorporate a similar theme of parental love and strength into her visual storytelling.

Buzzi Lee’s Young Star cover art mirrors these sentiments. In it, she is seen holding a child in her arms, a subtle but striking reference to both The Game and Riky Rick’s covers. The image is not only a nod to these influential artists but also an affirmation of her journey as an artist and a woman. “Fun Fact: my young star cover art was inspired by these two covers,” wrote Buzzi Lee.

The juxtaposition of youth and power on the cover speaks to the song’s themes of ambition, hope, and the desire to create a better future for the next generation.
