The rapper Pitbull has released the cover of his forthcoming album _Globalization_, on which his face is replaced by a map of the earth. Its uncanny creepiness makes the album perfectly timed: Go as Globe-Face Pitbull to your next Halloween fête! The image _is_ fitting, in a way: the Miami-based artist has managed to combine American hip-hop, Latin music, and the sort of house music popular in Europe into a lucrative career, and he’s certainly aware of his own global appeal. His last two albums were titled _Planet Pit_ and _Global Warming_. His music, with its sing-songy, nonsensical lyrics and aggressive beats, could fit in at just about any club on earth, from Miami (somewhere around Pitbull’s right eye) to Rio (near his left ear) to Eastern Europe (towards the back of his scalp.) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3513173/pitbull-globalization-album-cover/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3513173/pitbull-globalization-album-cover/"},"headline":"Pitbull's Head Replaced By Terrifying Globe on the Cover of His New Album Globalization","datePublished":"2014-10-16T16:15:17.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T10:50:04.824Z","description":"The rapper shares an upsetting planetary portrait","url":"https://time.com/3513173/pitbull-globalization-album-cover/","keywords":["Music","Globalization","Pitbull"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt650904a84ae09ac4/698761132dce014a259daf5f/pitbull-globalization-2014.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Daniel D'Addario","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/daniel-daddario/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt650904a84ae09ac4/698761132dce014a259daf5f/pitbull-globalization-2014.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Pitbull-Globalization-2014","caption":"","creditText":"RCA/Mr. 305/Polo Grounds","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3513173/pitbull-globalization-album-cover/","name":"Pitbull's Head Replaced By Terrifying Globe on the Cover of His New Album Globalization"}}]}] ```
