• Beatitudes is J.Rocc’s new beat tape for Stones Throw, which follows his full length album,
A Wonderful Letter, released earlier this year on the label.

• The cover pays homage to the work of a painter known only as Harvey, an artist who created nearly 200 sleeves in the 1960s for gospel and jazz albums on Savoy Records and its subsidiary labels Gospel, Regent, and Sharp.
