Top Dawg, CEO of Top Dawg Entertainment, announced on Instagram that the release date for Jay Rock‘s 90059 album is dependent upon the iTunes pre-orders.
“Its always been fans first for me since day one,” he writes today (August 19). “With that said, you guys are really in charge of this new Jay Rock release. I have realistic goals for #90059 and its preorder. As you/we hit each goal with the purchase of the preorder, the release date will automatically move itself up. Keep in mind that we can hit it in one day if we really wanted to. Lets make it happen.”
The pre-order became available today and revealed the project is slated to be made up of 11 tracks with features from Kendrick Lamar, Ab-Soul, ScHoolboy Q, Isaiah Rashad, SZA and Busta Rhymes.

Jay Rock announced on Twitter Friday (August 7) his new album will be called 90059.
The numbers are a ZIP code in Jay Rock‘s hometown of Watts, California. Nickerson Gardens, the project where Rock grew up, is located in this ZIP code and Top Dawg Entertainment performed a free holiday concert there last year.
This will be Jay Rock’s second studio album. His 2011 project, Follow Me Home, was Top Dawg Entertainment’s first release as a label and was released in conjunction with Strange Music.
Rock has already released a song called “90059,” as well as “Gumbo,” “Money Trees Deuce” and “Parental Advisory.” A tracklist for 90059 has not been released.

Jay Rock is from watts, not compton.
I was thinking the same thing but Watts really is directly beside Compton though. Compton Ave on one side of the train tracks and the other side Watts is right there.
Yup he from Watts not Compton
Wtf? When is it dropping?
Yes can’t wait for this one,Gumbo is my shit
if you ever heard a jay rock song you would that its watts not compton. idc how close they are. jay never even said the word compton in a song or interview. this album should be good with this tde momentum.
“Compton value of is where a nigga got his game from” -jay rock
go do your research dumb ass
Compton California where a nigga got his name from – jay rock
Follow Me Home was a great album with some huge features. I’ve always been curious why it’s not available on any streaming sites. Must be something to do with Strange Music. I’m really looking forward to this album but the song he just put out is trash in my opinion. Hope that’s not on the album.
He’s no longer on Strange
patiently waiting…
Shot out to Jay Rock an the whole TDE crew.. Peace on the Internets
I can’t wait. I love that j rock song called “backstreet freestyle” shit was a knocker!
….. Not gonna say anything…
Bruhh That Was Kendrick Go Find a Seat
That song on that beats headphone commercial isn’t on there why?
Top Dawg said it was a warm up track, same with Parental Advisory.
11 tracks??? What’s up with all these short ass albums. No album for years and he releases 11 tracks? Rappers are making a killing off consumers like this. $13-15 bucks for 11 tracks…. Even if it is only $13 or so, the principle still remains. These dudes want a quick buck these days.
haha Illmatic was only 10 songs. there are many classic albums with only a few songs on them, it’s not just an occurrence in these days and times. after 4 years of waiting for a Jay Rock release, I cant complain whatsoever about the amount of tracks, just give me the album already!
the best type of albums are short..no fillers. no bullshit mainly and prob just the best material
Labels/publisher only pays for the first 11 songs… That may be the reason. Far cry from the no limit days when master p would release 20 plus track albums every 6 weeks. This new Jay Rock should be solid regardless.
Get a drake feature if u want sales. Kendrick features won’t do shit like a drake feature. Look at all the names drake features created.
yawn
This is a West Coast gangsta rap album, not a gay ass pop/R&B album. Aubrey would be out of place here. “Look at all the names drake features created.” Zero.
@Logan: Watts, California where a nigga got his name from, name from
Do your research you idiots!!! How come all you americans just too dumb to get the lyrics right? you dumb fucks cant even get your own mother tongue right….so that a german has to get online just to correct your mistakes
if you want pre orders then itunes shouldnt be your only outlet… theres no hard copies or android pre order options… you’d have 2 pre orders from me if those options were available. apple wants to make everything exclusive to them and i would rather not purchase at all and just stream it or rip it offline then pay them. same goes for dr dre’s compton soundtrack
Yeah, there’s no point supporting anything Apple does. I had an iPhone 5 but it didn’t last for a year without replacing screen. Terrible quality for such a expensive product. My father also owned a 27-inch Apple computer (iMac or what’s the name, I don’t care) and it had all those “trashes” between the panel. And that also cost much, but the price once again meant “you’ve been robbed by Apple”. Can’t wait to hear this album, been a fan for years.
But Q is waiting until after 90059 drops to put out his next album! I can’t wait til 2016 for new Q! Or Rock!
Mann Top Dawg trippin, he need to release this album ASAP! Jay Rock is going to do well either way. All the tracks he’s dropped so far have been very solid. I’m not trying to wait till May 2016 smh
This nigga sounds like Ol Dirty Bastard and Freeway on this album. Totally no own identity.
Really, is anybody original nowadays? Good luck trying to find a rapper that is totally original with no trace of anybody else’s influence on them. It now boils down to who’s music sounds good to you. Like Nas said, “no idea’s original”.
we waited 4 years for 11 tracks? 4 of which have already been released? i love jay rock, i personally think hes the strongest and most well-rounded artist on tde, but top dawg really expects me to pay 12.99 for 7 songs i havent heard?
when did albums start dropping on fridays instead of tuesdays? just noticed that about Dre, ‘Face, and this
It started back in July. I noticed it when they started putting up the weekly album sales on Mondays instead of Wednesdays.
Drake would be on this album but Q Miller is on a much needed vacation after writing drakes music. He will be back soon to hold drakes hand in the studio:)
Almost forgot about Drizzy Vanilli!
I fux with Rock, but my anticipation for this album dropped tremendously after Top played the whole pre-order game. TDE releases are very unorthodox and not in a good way.
No one cares about your fake fandom
this -> “we waited 4 years for 11 tracks? 4 of which have already been released? i love jay rock, i personally think hes the strongest and most well-rounded artist on tde, but top dawg really expects me to pay 12.99 for 7 songs i havent heard?”
i wanna hear a black hippy album
Not a fan of these games and shit. Just release it already.
Waiting on that stream link…
Just copped it. Album bangs!
