Rap-Up.com || Album Cover: Busta Rhymes – ‘Year of the Dragon’

Rawr, rawr, like a dungeon dragon. Busta Rhymes spits hot fire on the cover of his Cash Money debut Year of the Dragon. Inspired by the Chinese Zodiac, the artwork features a fire-breathing dragon torching his enemies. The album, due later this year, has already spawned the single “Why Stop Now” featuring Chris Brown.

This is the greatest album cover I’ve ever seen.

For those not in the know, this dragon is a monster from the masterpiece of a video game series; Monster Hunter.

It’s cool seeing something like this, wonder if that means Busta’s a fan of MH?
