C-Lo - 817 Most Wanted

C-Lo is a rapper from San Antonio, TX. He is also affiliated with the legendary P.K.O. and the Youngsta Mafia Family. 817 Most Wanted is his debut album and it was released in 1993 on Youngsta Records. Production is handled by Magic Mark of P.K.O., Mike E.D., DJ A-K 47, K-Mac and A.J. The beats can simply be described as that old school gangsta funk. They contain nothing but hard drums fused with whinny synths that are tranquilly laced over some steady samples. The lyrics also carry the same vibe. C-Lo has the ability to catch a beat. He delivers the rough rhymes at a solid rate and definitely keeps them roguish. Features are made by P.K.O. and Candi. The album falls in at a mere eleven tracks but they are all sovereign. Although the record contains bona fide material, it was generally neglected and ended up being dismissed.

I loved this album back in 1994. Took me a long time to track down an original version though. Finally found one in 2005.
What's the story behind the album cover?
