Fans are still waiting for Desiigner to drop his debut album The Life Of Desiigner — a record that doesn’t even have a release date yet — but it seems like the 20-year-old “Panda” rapper is already thinking about life after The Life Of Desiigner, announcing on Twitter that he has plans for a new mixtape.
The project would be called New English 2, a follow-up to the 2016 mixtape that featured the Brooklyn rapper’s megahit “Panda.” He’s has been talking about plans for his first full-length release for over a year now.
Desiigner revealed the plan and said that the mixtape would be “coming soon” when a fan referred to the original New English tape as “slept on.”
Desiigner quickly followed up this tweet with a clarification that while New English 2 is in the pipeline, it won’t be taking precedence over The Life Of Desiigner, writing, “After LOD Album I’m Dropping New English 2” and then dropping five fire emojis for good measure.
The announcement didn’t put his fans in the most patient of moods.
I’m just dumbfounded at the fact that people , well, fools are actually looking forward to this dust
NOBODY WHO ACTUALLY PRONOUNCES AND ENUNCIATE WORDS WANTS THIS ALBUM .
Oh cool, a sequel to one of the worst projects last year. Can’t wait lmao.
nah, keep that project.
Desiigner’s cover art for New English was phenomenal, which makes no sense, as his music is subpar, and he hasn’t proven his ability to churn out multiple decent records. Forget hits, rare people in hiphop actually get those, consistency is the real talent. Anyone can turn up to a trap beat and come up with a catchy hook.
It’s not clear what Good music wants to do with him, as his image is crazy and chaotic, but his album art is pretentious, there’s no translation to building fans.
We always hear stories about his crazy energy, but that’s the issue…we hear them…we don’t see them. Other artists speak about him, we don’t experience it for ourselves.
He needs branding, he needs artist development, he needs focus.
All this sequel bs is getting real old.
