Broward County, Florida native XXXTENTACION claimed he was going “to disappear for a little while” earlier this month. It turns out X’s vanishing act may have been a way for the rapper to knock out some work on his debut album.
In a series of posts shared via Instagram Stories, X revealed his plans to drop the project next month. Titled 17, the album appears to be scheduled for an August 25 release.
“17 the album, august 25th,” he wrote. “It’s my first body of work, first official album release, and the first time I’ve put my all into a project. I mean it when I say this project is absolutely amazing.”
X also offered a disclaimer ahead of 17‘s release.
“If you listen to me to get hype or to not think, don’t buy this album,” he wrote. “This one is for the depression, for the depressed ones, for the lost ones.”
X had a wild run on his Revenge Tour this summer. In June, he was knocked out during his performance in San Diego and a 19-year-old concertgoer was stabbed. He eventually canceled the remaining tour dates after learning his cousin had been shot.

This is why this site is garbage. You cant just say he cancelled is tour? Why do you have to mention that his cousin (who isnt a rapper) got shot? Its like you just push that violence in the media any chance you can. Whats the point? Were supposed to think hes cool cause his cousin got shot? Foh! You media types are fucking disgusting promoting this bullshit to line your pockets with that dirty azz money while people getting killed out here everyday over bullshit and you embrace that. Sickening
Take it easy there fella. They’re just reporting what happened and pointing to a previous article about it. XXX is the one who told everyone about his cousin so be mad at him if anything
Because Dumbass, thats the reason he cancelled the tour. The guy had a breakdown because his cuz almost died. That aint pushing shit, thats reality.
This might be the next great album since DAMN
pullin a gay z, retiring just a lie? or was that a different jagoff clone?
“This one is for the depression, for the depressed ones, for the lost ones.” music for the emo gay rappers
Yea man all rap should be about phony machismo and “hood reports” right?
you are right we need EVEN MORE gay rappers right now crying and bitching about life
All you momos are tite about an internet comment
No, we need more rappers jumping off balconies and punching pregnant women like the ones you get hard for.
Just what the world needs. Another “album” from another WACK “rapper” who will be forgotten about soon & then a dozen more WACK “rappers” are gonna spring up to further contaminate the genre and dumb down an entire generation.
