'Crime Boss - All in the Game' - Original 12' Promotional Flat

This original 12” promotional flat for Crime Boss’s *All in the Game* captures an early phase of Southern rap artwork, where bold typography and high-contrast imagery combined to create impact.
Built around a dramatic, single-colour palette, the composition layers staged photography with oversized type and cinematic framing, placing the artist at the centre of a confrontational, narrative-led scene. Compared to later Pen & Pixel work, the approach is more restrained, but already points toward the studio’s emerging interest in scale, symbolism, and visual storytelling.
Created during Shawn Brauch’s Rap-A-Lot era, the piece reflects a transitional moment in the evolution of the Southern rap aesthetic.
