This includes verses from well loved rappers and artists. He said:

“The Benny The Butcher song from Griselda is still on there. Syd from The Internet—her song is still on there. Everybody and their mom has kinda been working with us, but I still don’t know what the final configuration is.”

Exact Release Date

The exact release date is unknown. Though QL made clear the wait is almost over, hinting at a late 2025 to early 2026 drop.

He later admitted that he felt audiences looked tired by their performances, prompting a comment regarding fresh material:

“We’ve been allowed to sort of co-exist, smooth sailing, for, like, ten years. But now, it’s getting kind of scary on the touring circuit.”

“I now have an agreement that, come November—no more new songs,” Questlove says. “I’ve got an even better idea—and an even better idea—and an even better idea!’”
