In a 2024 interview with DJ Finesse of Video Explosion Urban Music Interviews, Jamal Risbrook talks about how his jacket got included in the front cover picture on the album. Shot in Brooklyn at the Nostrand Avenue station of the long Island railway. Risbrook took off the jacket every time the photographer would do a shoot. He hung it on the fence. The photographer never noticed that the jacket was haging there. [4]
