Lil Yachty & James Blake set release date for collab album ‘Bad Cameo’

Lil Yachty and James Blake have revealed the artwork and announced the release date for their collaborative album Bad Cameo: June 28 via Quality Control Music/Motown Records & Republic Records (pre-order). The two also did a joint cover story for Complex, which sheds a little light on the album:

An intro turned into an experimental studio session, which turned into another session, which then turned into multiple sessions to create a joint album that’s different from anything they’ve done as solo artists. Titled Bad Cameo, the ambient record merges Yachty’s ear for unexpected melodies with Blake’s soulful tone and sharp production skills. The music is trippy, ethereal, and deep, maybe the deepest Yachty’s gone. “We got a really vulnerable side of Yachty in some of those sessions,” says Blake.

Yachty also spoke about it in a video on Instagram, and said, “This project is just like… it’s so left, for both of us.” Watch that below.

James Blake also recently released his own new single “Thrown Around,” and he’s playing a “special eclectic solo show” in New York on June 12.
