In this episode, I sit down with Cey Adams, a legendary artist and designer who shaped the visual culture of hip-hop as the founding Creative Director of Def Jam Recordings. From designing album covers and logos for Run-DMC, Beastie Boys, LL Cool J, Mary J. Blige, Jay-Z, and Notorious B.I.G. to creating the Chappelle’s Show logo, Cey’s work has left an undeniable mark on the culture.
