It's been over three months since Marvel's last batch of variant hip-hop covers. But today the comic book giant strikes back with another grip that's sure to scratch music and panel-flipping itches alike. Five new covers arrive today with hat-tips to geniuses like Tupac, RZA, Frank Ocean, Method Man and Masters of Ceremony, each receiving specially-dedicated takes on iconic album covers featuring stars of the MU; Nick Fury, X-Men, Luke Cage and the like.

On March 17th, Marvel will release its latest Netflix series, Iron Fist, which will reportedly boast as many nods to hip-hop and its NYC roots as its predecessor, Luke Cage. So just in case you were wondering whether there was any end in sight for the hip-hop love-fest in the MCU, the answer is a resounding no. And that's a very good thing, indeed.
