Tierra Whack is set to return. On Tuesday (November 30), the Grammy Award-nominated Philly rapper, singer, songwriter and poet announced on she’ll release the follow-up 2018’s critically acclaimed Whack World project on December 2.

Titled Rap?, Whack also announced she’ll drop her first-ever Vans collaboration on December 3. Whack created a unique 1980s-inspired collection of footwear alongside her stylist Shirley Kurata that encapsulates the polymath’s unique approach to music. Whack described the collection in a press release as a “mélange of colors, shapes, patterns, and phrases that explores limitless creativity.”

“It was an amazing experience to be able to take what I do with music and apply it to fashion,” she added. “Making music is all about collaboration and it was great to work with Shirley and with Vans to give people a collection they can feel free in.”
