Larger Than Life will serve as Brent Faiyaz’s fifth full-length release in six years following 2017’s Sonder Son, 2018’s Lost, 2020’s Fuck the World and 2022’s Wasteland.
The latter, his sophomore album, took the Maryland native to new commercial and critical heights, peaking at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with 88,000 album-equivalent units in its first week.
