Desiigner has returned to eviscerate his demons on “Timmy Turner 2” which is the follow-up to his 2016 viral hit, “Timmy Turner.”
The haunting track was released on Friday (May 5). At the beginning of the song, a low-octave sample of “Timmy Turner” could be heard over dizzying synth pad sounds. Once the track begins, the “Panda” rapper begins rapping about striving to overcome mental hurdles and roadblocks which are currently in his way.

Prior to the release of “Timmy Turner 2,” Desiigner was charged with indecent exposure following an April flight from Japan back home to the States and he decided it was time to get help.
The Brooklyn native penned a heartfelt letter to fans letting them know he’d be going off the grid for a bit as he entered the facility.

“I turned 26 today and i want to thank ya’ll for holding me down,” he wrote to Instagram on Wednesday (May 3). “I admitted myself into a facility last week to focus on my mental health. But before that i had planned to release TIIMMY TURNER 2 this week as a surprise to my fans. I recorded this joint a while ago and it reflects on where i’ve been mentally over the past year.
“Sorry i can’t promote it the way i like to cause i’m off the grid, but i just want to give you some new music while i take time away to become a better me. I’m going through a tough time right now but i won’t let my struggles define who i am. I will come back stronger and make more music that connects with all of you on a deeper level.”
He continued: “For those of you dealing with any mental health issues, it’s okay to ask for help.”
