*Explicit* Joe Cool is one of the most recognizable artists in the hip hop industry. His artwork has been featured on millions of records sold around the world starting in 1993 with Snoop Dogg's "Doggystyle." And even though it was his first publicized piece of art, "Doggystyle" is still considered one of the greatest rap album covers of all time. Just check out the lists on Complex, HotNewHipHop, and CapitalXtra.

Outside of album covers, Joe's has collaborated with global brands such as Adidas, Supreme and 7-11. He can also be seen on stage touring around the world with Snoop as the "Nasty Dogg."

Joe continues to create art by painting and drawing. If you want a Joe Cool original or a commissioned piece, hit him up here or go to his website.
