Rakim Socks
Description: This T-shirt design is a satirical reimagining of Eric B. & Rakim’s iconic *Paid in Full* album cover, replacing the original duo with Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu in the same confident pose and composition. The background, typography, and color palette echo the original cover, creating an instantly recognizable visual reference. The concept uses irony and classic hip-hop imagery to comment on the political responsibility and alleged complicity of both figures in the ongoing suffering of Palestinians, turning a legendary album aesthetic into a sharp piece of protest-inspired streetwear.
