Lil Wayne is getting ready to release his rock-inspired “Rebirth” album and photographer Jonathan Mannion recently gave fans a behind the scenes tour of his gallery that features artwork from Weezy’s next album. Mannion explains how the two came up with the concept saying “we did a lot of research, we were looking back a lot of old RollingStone pictures.” Jonathan Mannion started his career by shooting photographs for Jay-Z’s “Resonable Double” album and later went on to photograph sports stars like Kobe Bryant, Magic Johnson and even Lance Armstrong.

Love it!
