Artwork
A friend of Smokepurpp came up with the idea for the album art from infamous punk rock artist GG Allin. On Purpp's album cover, he's seen in a coffin, surrounded by a newspaper clipping, photos of himself, alcohol and a lean bottle. This mimics an infamous photo of the punk rocker at his funeral. Allin died in 1993 due to a heroin overdose and was photographed at his funeral in his coffin with a bottle of Jim Beam and newspaper clippings surrounding him. His corpse was unwashed and unpreserved while wearing his leather jacket and jock strap (a trademark of his).{{cite web |url=https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/smokepurpp-reveals-deadstar-delay-tm88-production-new-video.42683.html|title=Smokepurpp Reveals "DEADSTAR" Delay, TM88 Production|publisher=HotNewHipHop|last=Lilah|first=Rose|date=September 19, 2017|accessdate=October 11, 2017}}
