Kodak Black Teases New Album Coming Out in the Coming Month

/0 Comments/in /by

Kodak Black said he wants to start the new year off with the release of a brand-new album. 

When Kodak joined Yungeen Ace on Instagram Live earlier this week, he revealed that he was working diligently on the eagerly awaited album and that it would be released sometime in February.

When Ace inquired about what he was up to in the video, the “ZEZE” rapper said: “I’m just chilling finna drop this album next month.”

Kodak also name-dropped some artists that he’s collaborating with on the project and both rappers agreed that they need to find the latest R&B sensation similar to Mariah Carey.

Kodak’s last album, Back For Everything, was released in February 2022 and debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart, earning 60,000 album-equivalent units in its first week. 

Last month, Kodak expressed upset over the fact he thinks he should have won numerous Grammys by this point in his career. Appearing in the studio with DJ Akademiks and YouTuber Adin Ross, he argued that his past success should have earned him some trophies.

Kodak said, “Y’all know I’m supposed to have a million Grammys. Ok, but fuck the Grammy’s, fuck the awards ’cause sometimes your shit don’t always come as a trophy.”

He continued: “Look how real n-ggas gotta get their awards. I count the Trump pardon — that’s my Grammy, that’s my award then.”

Kodak has been a strong admirer of Trump ever since the former president granted him a pardon in January 2021. He even bought a gold chain with a personalized Trump pendant.

He continued by saying that despite being one of the most popular songs of 2022, “Super Gremlin” failed to garner any nominations, which he finds incomprehensible.

Kodak said, “At first, I was sitting at this shit like, ‘Damn, homie. Y’all know ‘Super Gremlin’ was the hottest shit — still the hottest shit,”

“Even though a lot of them muthafuckas had good songs, why y’all still ain’t give me my shit, homie? What the fuck a n-gga supposed to do?”

Kodak also attacked the BET Awards in October 2022 after Latto won Song Of The Year for “Big Energy” instead of “Super Gremlin.”

“Everyone Needa Boycott @Connieorlando & @BET !” he wrote next to a photo of BET’s EVP and Head of Programming Connie Orlando. “Y’all Lame Af & Y’all Not Really For The People Fr ! BET WATERED DOWN !!! Y’all So Lame And Out Of Touch ! Y’all Definitely Not A Creditable Show !!!”

He added: “I Called It Out A Few Weeks Ago ! Ain’t No Way They Gone Let No MF Kodak Win A Dam Award Even If The Card Is Right In Front Of Them ! The Whole Point Of Everything Was Bout Woman Empowerment ! The Females Been Crying All Year Bout It ! @connieorlando Gave All Females Awards If They Deserved It Or Not !”

Dr. Dre will be contributing to the new album that 50 Cent plans to release later this year, he has revealed in additional details.

The rapper was asked about a recent Instagram post in which he announced “new music, new TV, and a new movie” during an interview with Big Boy’s Neighborhood. As soon as he broke the news, Fif stated that, claimed that his Shady/Aftermath family contacted him to let him know they were prepared to work as soon as he shared the news with fans. 

“As soon as I said that, I got a text from [Eminem] that he had already spoke to Dre, and that Dre is in there and he got some crazy stuff for me to go hear,” he said. “This is my process: I’ll go make something, what I can find, the best music that I can put my hands on. And when I feel real good about it, I bring it to put pressure on Dre to offer me something. ‘Cause he’ll have something… He’s always had something.”

The head of G-Unit continued by saying that there have even been occasions in the past when Dr. Dre gave up beats he had produced for himself in order for 50 Cent to utilize them.

In another section of the interview, the Queens rapper revealed that he had begun developing an 8 Mile TV show to assist Eminem’s already-impenetrable “legacy” go further.

While he didn’t provide many details regarding the project’s release date or the point in B-life Rabbit’s where the story would pick up, 50 indicated that it was already more than just a pipe dream.

“We in motion,” he said. “It’s gonna be big. I’m working. I ain’t got no duds. I’m batting 100 … I think it should be there for [Eminem’s] legacy because it’s important to me that they understand it.”

The announcement was made a few months after the “Expanded Edition” re-release of the 8 Mile soundtrack, which was released to coincide with the original album’s 6x platinum certification and marked the soundtrack’s 20th anniversary. The 12 original songs from the new album are included, along with instrumental versions of each song.

A new 8 Mile version might not have the support of the entire original cast. Mekhi Phifer, who played Rabbit’s friend Future in the 2002 movie (paying homage to Em’s real-life childhood pal Proof), has stated to TMZ Hip Hop that there will “never” be a follow-up to the well-liked rap movie.

“Sometimes it’s just best to leave it alone. Once you make it a classic, no reason to fool around with it,” he said. He added that a sequel could be interesting, but he would never consider reprising his beloved role.

50 Cent’s G-Unit Television & Films is expected to keep expanding its library in 2023 in addition to the return of BMF, which debuted its second season on Friday (January 6). Despite announcing in September of last year that his long-standing relationship with STARZ was coming to an end, the media tycoon recently revealed plans for a new series on the network.

A new scripted drama series called Fightland, which centers on a retired world champion fighter who discovers the dark side of the sport after his boyhood friend and training partner vanishes, is executive produced by 50, according to a report from Deadline.

The disgraced fighter must return to the sport that nearly cost him everything in order to flee in order to find his best buddy. The show is the creation of South London-raised writers Marlon Smith and Daniel Fajemisin-Duncan.

Additionally, 50 Cent will collaborate on the show’s production with Expanded Media’s Francis Hopkinson and Katharine Leadbetter. Vice President of Original Programming Sebastian Arboleda and Director of Original Programming Alex Alberts will be in charge of the program for STARZ.
