Slime Cry
The ninth studio album, and possibly one of the last — he said in August 2026 that he has one or two left.

Background
Recorded between November 2025 and January 2026, immediately after the MASA tour, and released on 16 January 2026 through Never Broke Again and Motown. At eighty-eight minutes it returns to the length of his longer records.
Guest appearances
Burna Boy and Jelly Roll both feature. That pairing — an Afrobeats star and a country-adjacent artist — is the widest stylistic reach of any guest list in his catalogue, and a clear signal about where he sees his audience now.
Production
Led by Mally Mall, D-Roc and BlokkOnDa808s, with contributions from FnZ, 18yoman, 30 Roc and Lewis Parker, who also mixed and recorded the whole record.
Singles
"Devil Go Away" was released alongside the album on 16 January 2026.
What comes after
In August 2026 he told the interview show Open Thoughts with Funny Marco that he expects to release only one or two more albums and to tour once more before stepping back, saying music is no longer where his focus sits. If that holds, Slime Cry is near the end of the catalogue rather than the middle of it.
Recorded after the tour
Sessions ran from November 2025 to January 2026, immediately following the MASA run, and the record arrived on 16 January. Turning a tour straight into an eighty-eight minute album inside two months is a pace few artists attempt.
The guest list
Burna Boy and Jelly Roll is the widest stylistic reach of any pairing in his catalogue — Afrobeats and country-adjacent country rap on the same record. Whatever else it signals, it is not the guest list of an artist making music only for Baton Rouge.
Lewis Parker
Alongside contributing production he mixed and recorded the entire album, which is unusual given the size of the credit list. It gives the record more sonic consistency than the sprawling producer roster would suggest.
