Megan Thee Stallion Releases Long-Awaited, New Album “MEGAN” 

Today, three-time, Grammy award-winning artist, entrepreneur and philanthropist Megan Thee Stallion unveiled her new album, MEGAN, which includes collaborations with Victoria Monet, GloRilla, UGK, Big K.R.I.T., Kyle Richh and Yuki Chiba.

With the album, Megan continues to showcase her versatility and global reach as a musician, teaming up with Japanese hip-hop artist Yuki Chiba on “MAMUSHI.” The pair recorded the song during the Houston native’s trip to Tokyo earlier this year. 

Megan also secured an appearance from Bun B and a posthumous verse from the late-great Pimp C for a special UGK collaboration on “PAPER TOGETHER.” It’s a full-circle moment for Megan, who grew up listening to the Port Arthur duo and has called Pimp C one of her favorite rappers. 

The self-titled album also includes previously-released songs like “COBRA,” “BOA,” and “HISS” – the latter of which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 earlier this year and became the first-ever, solo female rap song to debut No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200. 

The announcement also comes as Megan extends her prolific “Hot Girl Summer Tour” with a new date in Atlanta, GA at State Farm Arena on July 2 and a domestic finale in Charlotte, NC at PNC Music Pavilion on July 3. Tickets for the newly-added dates are available for purchase at store.megantheestallion.com. 

To date, Megan’s tour has sold over 280,000 tickets and sold out 23 shows. Over the course of the tour, she has brought a wide array of special guests at select stops, including Cardi B, Latto, Flo Milli, Bun B, Paul Wall, Slim Thug, Monaleo, Lil Keke and Z-Ro.  

Rolling Stone highlighted Megan’s tour in a review, writing “few artists, like Megan, can rip into double-time rhymes without missing a beat, all while moving all over the stage, dancing.” Meanwhile, Billboard noted that “Meg’s showmanship shouldn’t be questioned. She embodies the value of playing the long game and why, sometimes, good things come to those who wait.” 

“MEGAN” will mark Megan’s first studio album since Aug. 2022, when she released “TRAUMAZINE” that included collaborations with Dua Lipa, Key Glock, Jhené Aiko, Rico Nasty, Latto, Lucky Daye, Pooh Shiesty as well as Houston staples such as Sauce Walka, Big Pokey and Lil Keke.

Some sketches and stuff I’m working on. I want to get back into drawing characters again so I’ve been practicing 😁. Baldur’s Gate 3 really inspired me! I had lost interest in #drawing people after drawing them obsessively for awhile, but something about the designs in Baldur’s Gate sparked my interest. Plus I loved the game so much!! I am sketching an idea of a little Raphael animation and a starting a relaxed bunny animation!

Maxo Kream and Evilgiane Team for "Eye Know," a Fast-Paced Slapper

Consistently toying with listeners' expectations, Maxo Kream effortlessly molds underground sounds to fit his speaker-knocking Houston style. The acclaimed emcee connects with Surf Gang producer Evilgiane for "Eye Know," his new video single. The Surf Gang producer (known for his work with Kendrick Lamar and Earl Sweatshirt, among others) provides a beat that swings with relentless propulsion, as Maxo steps up his game, decrying haters and fakes with his double-time rhymes: "I know some n****s that's gangsta on Insta/You catch 'em and see 'em they really some h*es/I know some n****s got millions on YouTube, but can't do a concert, can't sell out a show." Directed by Michael Onipede, the video matches the song's playful vibe, liberally using the fisheye lens as Maxo hits licks and counts the cars in his garage.

"Eye Know" is this year's second collaboration between Maxo Kream and Evilgiane, following "Bang The Bus," an ethereal and energetic offering that arrived in January and earned acclaim from Stereogum, Rap Radar, Hits DD, and more. "Bang The Bus" kicked off a productive 2024 for the beloved rapper. Maxo used his music to process a loss in his family, paying tribute to his hero, his father Emekwanem Ibemakanam Ogugua Biosah Sr., aka Brandon Banks, who passed away earlier this year, in the single and music video for "No Then You a H*e," covered in Billboard, HotNewHipHop, Brooklyn Vegan, and more. He teamed up with fellow Texan That Mexican OT for "Talkin In Screw," a syrupy tribute to DJ Screw and the South Texas rap scene.

A master storyteller who has succeeded for over a decade in the game on his own terms, Maxo Kream is a proud torchbearer for the Texas rap tradition. Today, the Houston heavy-hitter celebrates his birthday by sharing "Talkin In Screw," a new single and music video featuring fellow Texan That Mexican OT. Produced by Nick Grand, the new song is Houston to its core, populated by screeching synths and thumping 808s, inviting Maxo and OT to apply their fastest flows as they flex in double-time and dare any smack-talkers to meet them face-to-face. In the final minute of the song, "Talkin In Screw" slows to a syrupy pace, putting a spotlight on Maxo's lyrics and paying tribute to the late Houston innovator DJ Screw. Maxo is hard at work on an upcoming project, due later this year, featuring these singles and diving deep into Maxo's personal history.

Maxo's upcoming album is the highly-anticipated follow-up to the 2021 album Weight Of The World, which earned critical acclaim from Pitchfork, NPR, Complex, and many others. The album featured collaborations with heavy-hitters including Tyler, The Creator, A$AP Rocky, Don Toliver, and Freddie Gibbs, and was expanded with 2022's Weight Of The World (Deluxe), adding features from Benny The Butcher, Anderson .Paak, Babyface Ray, and more. Maxo spent 2023 releasing more fiery collaborations, including "Bonecrusher" ft. Key Glock and "Whatchamacallit" ft. Luh Tyler, and working on his health: the rapper recently shared that he lost more than 75 pounds and is in better shape than ever before. 

Maxo Kream is currently on tour with his good friend That Mexican OT. Stay tuned for much more from Maxo Kream, as he continues to perfect his personas and honor his late father in 2024.
