The former G.O.O.D. Music MC previously confirmed a new TWENTY88 album is in the works in February. “I’m here working on [a] new album and new TWENTY88, me and Jhené,” he said during an Instagram Live with Queen Naija. “Shit, we’ve been working on it for a little bit… It’s coming along good, though.”
