Urban Legends has teamed with Marvel for a series of vinyl releases of hip-hop classics with the Marvel covers originally produced as part of a variant cover promotion in 2015 and 2016 (see "Preview: Fall Hip-Hop Variant Covers").

Deluxe Variant Cover Collector’s Editions ($55.98 MSRP) will offer the album housed in a gatefold LP with the variant cover printed directly on the front, double color vinyl, a copy of the limited-edition comic associated with the cover, and a 3D lenticular print of the art. Deluxe Editions will be limited to 3,000 pieces each.

Variant Cover Collector’s Edition ($39.98) will replace the album’s original image with the Marvel variant cover.

On December 7, both versions of the first three albums will be released:

  • 50 Cent: Get Rich or Die Tryin’, with the Brian Stelfreeze cover art for Invincible Iron Man #1.
  • LL Cool J: Mama Said Knock You Out, with the Tim Bradstreet cover art for Punisher #1.
  • GZA: Liquid Swords, with the Denys Cowan, Bill Sienkiewicz, and Chris Sotamayor cover art for Contest of Champions #1.
