In this video clip Common explain the concept of the album cover, how Defjam- who he recently signed a deal with through their G.O.O.D Music imprint- came up with the idea for the video, and shows how other Chicago rap figures will appear on both the deluxe album cover and in the promo photos.

Below is the deluxe  cover that has been release, we’re not 100%  whether it will be the only rendition or if people like Lil Herb, Deezy and others will also be included in addition to  King Louie who is in this rendition.
