In season 2 of The Formula, we're deciphering the cypher. We'll sit with some of hip-hop's rising and most respected artist-producer duos — Isaiah Rashad + Kal Banx, Tierra Whack + J Melodic, Westside Gunn + Conductor Williams, Rico Nasty + Kenny Beats, Freddie Gibbs + The Alchemist — as they dissect one or two songs emblematic of their collective body of work, be it an album, an era or a moment in rhyme. Because the true stamp of a timeless collab comes when both musicians at play find themselves forever transformed by the mix.

Inspired by the vibrant musicality and the energy shared between the collaborators, I designed a series of title sequences for each episode and animated breakdown visualizations of the featured artists' songs.
