Michael Zebrick |The Collage Artist
Brooklyn-based artist Zeebs, is a standout figure in the modern collage movement. Operating out of Bushwick, Zebrick creates dense, tactile works by layering hand-cut imagery with acrylic, ink, and spray paint on wood-mounted panels.
His "cut and paste" analog aesthetic has earned him a strong following in the NYC contemporary art scene, where he is recognized for blending raw urban energy with complex, multi-dimensional storytelling.
The Partnership
The "ERLY" cover art collaboration is a masterclass in fusing underground hip-hop with contemporary collage. Artist Michael Zebrick (Zeebs 247) translates Prolific Wone’s raw, atmospheric sound into a tactile visual experience using layered archival paper and digital fragmentation. This synergy between New York rap culture and Brooklyn fine art transforms a standard music release into a high-concept gallery piece, capturing the gritty, multidimensional energy of the single.
By blending abstract storytelling with independent music branding, the "ERLY" artwork serves as a visual anchor for the project’s urban themes. This fine art and hip-hop crossover elevates the traditional album cover, offering fans a cohesive sensory experience rooted in the heart of the modern urban art scene.
