Prodigious rapper A-F-R-O is inching closer and closer to releasing his debut album.
Earlier this week, the lyrically gifted 20-year-old took to Twitter to unveil he has Hip Hop legend Chubb Rock on the project and that his inaugural LP is expected to arrive late next month.
“I got CHUBB ROCK on my debut album!!” he wrote. “Two big boy voices.. old school and new school killin’ shit together.. I’m excited.. aiming for late August to finally DROP this fucking album!!
In a 2016 interview with HipHopDX, A-F-R-O explained how he developed a taste for golden era Hip Hop.

“I love it,” he told DX. “Just the sound is incredible. It really speaks to me. I heard Rakim’s ‘Microphone Fiend’ around nine years old and told myself that I wanted to get into Hip Hop. I wanted to do what he’s doing.”
A-F-R-O has since collaborated with several veteran MCs, including Gift of Gab and R.A. The Rugged Man on the track “Freedom Form Flowing.” The video is currently sitting at over 3.6 million views.
