Conti Ransomware Gang's Russia-Based Music Album Labels and Plastika Recording Studio - An OSINT Analysis

I recently came across to another image courtesy of Conti ransomware gang's internal and publicly accessible leaked communication which I data mined with the idea to come up with a proper analysis and connect the dots which in this case appear that a member of the Conti ransomware gang who's responsible for their advertising and marketing creative is also busy doing advertising and marketing creative for other clients companies and organizations in this specific case Russia-based rap and hip artists and their album covers.

Is this the case? Let's find out.
