Despite reaching various milestones, Roddy is already looking ahead to new music. On August 10, the Compton rapper claimed that his next project will be a “full-blown masterpiece.”

“Could I drop a new album right now? Yes. Will I? No,” he told GQ. “It’s really not about it being ready or not ready. It’s more about the timing. I really just drop when I feel like it. The next album is going to be a full blown masterpiece. A real idea. A real body of work.”
