The Last Slimento will reportedly drop on Aug. 5 through his label, Never Broke Again, and Atlantic records. Its 30 songs include the records “I Hate YoungBoy,” “4KT Baby”–which already has an accompanying music video–and “Loner Life,” among others.

The Louisiana Rapper Said He Thought About Quitting Music
While he’s been dropping music consistently, making him a staple in the new era of rap, he hasn’t been making much public appearances. The most anyone has heard from him as of late was during an interview with Ak on the popular app, Clubhouse. Surprisingly, he revealed that he wanted to stop doing music.
“I been wanting to stop doing music since two and a half years ago,” he said. “I’m really getting to that breaking point of, like, ‘Fuck that shit.’ I used to make five, 10 songs a day. Now I make like two songs.”
Thankfully, however, he has not shown any signs of stopping. Check out the 11-track sample of The Last Slimento below.
