Album cover of Animal Barz by Nejma Nefertiti. The artwork presents a vintage, circus-style menagerie, housing a pigeon, rat, elephant, dog, and a mosquito in a glass jar, directly corresponding to the five tracks on this conceptual project. This ornate cage symbolizes the "Animal Barz" metaphor, suggesting that each species represents a specific urban archetype or human trait trapped within the structures of society. The inclusion of traditional hip-hop elements, like scratches by Tone Spliff, suggests that while the themes are zoological, the delivery remains rooted in raw, technical lyricism. The circus aesthetic frames the artists as observers of a chaotic biological theater, where each "animal" has a story to tell through Dub Sonata’s production.
