The graphic design era of Hip Hop goes quite unnoticed when it comes to names
solidified in the community. Cover art is an integral part of any song or album.
The eye candy display can be a huge benefactor when it comes to music
attraction. A lot of graphic designers are currently getting their flowers for their
renditions of cover art stylistics, which includes one of the rising cover artists
taking over the east coast.
DustinsConcept, or Dc3, is a 21 year old artist from North Carolina who has bagged some of the biggest artist opportunities in the cover art era.
His work has been featured through billboard charting artists such as Julio Foolio, Blocboy JB, and even Kodak Black. His cover art is a plethora of over 215+ million streams acquired for all the songs worked on, as well as receiving a billboard plaque. Dustin’s infatuation for music has always been near and dear throughout his risings in North Carolina. Though it is a small state, Dustin was aware that his intentions were to find his place within the music industry, teaching himself how to make covers over the years, and proving that he is indeed North Carolina’s number 1 cover artist.
However, it does come as a challenge when trying to make it, in a place where Hip Hop is not as prominent. Dustin stated that: “growing up in North Carolina and wanting to be a part of the music industry is already difficult... there’s no real studios, labels or anything out here to kickstart or be apart of...”
The career-changing move would occur when Dustin would move to Jersey and stay with the top A&R’s of the city, eventually developing and marketing himself through other management. DustinsConcept has proven through the way he conducts himself that he is not a force to be reckoned with. The continuance of his work is to be determined, as he hopes to achieve RIAA certified plaques with his art displayed on them.
It seems that his passion for art is not just through music, but through fashion as well, as he unloads his fashion brand “ForeverHeartBroken Club”, which has already been co-signed by athletes and artists. Be sure to check out his work, and stay tuned for the future projects that are to be released through Dustin’s work.
