Help Create Hip Hop CD Cover

Hello BHW!
I have been a bit inactive lately because of working with two friends on their music(hip hop genre). We are currently looking to design a poster (could also be used as CD cover) for his upcoming album. I figured that someone here at the amazing BHW forums would be able to help us out. This is a most creative bunch of people I've ever met.

If someone out there gets bored and wants to mess around with it, I'd love to see what you can come up with
The name of the album is "Finding Out Who I Am" if that sparks and ideas let me know!

Here is the original photo

You guys are serious about this album, I can tell by the fact that you guys actually have a decent mic. lol

I'm sure you can find someone who will make a poster and/or cover. You should check out graphicriver, they have some premade designs that you might find interesting.

The design really depends on the tone of the album. You should also have someone listen to a couple songs to get a feel of the tone. You can't have a hyped up happy design with some dark songs, feel me?

P.S. I'd love to know what hardware/software you're running to record.

Thanks, I will def. check out graphicriver. I really wish I had the photoshop skills & creativity to do it myself but unfortunately I'm a total PS newb. I can only do basic editing :O
