Marvel is back at it again. A little over two weeks after unveiling another set of their highly sought after hip hop variant covers, the comic book company has unveiled a brand new batch.

Marvel has spent the last year and more paying homage to some of the biggest names in rap with a variety of covers designed to mimic in some way both classic albums and newer releases. For this latest run, the comic book company has busted out another set of five covers recreated some newer projects like Nas' 2012 album Life is Good, Dr. Dre's 2015 release Compton, and the 2013 Prodigy and Alchemist collaboration Albert Einstein. That's to go along with two classics from EPMD Back in Business and Missy Elliott's Under Construction.

Marvel Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso revealed each new cover along with the artist's name on Twitter.
