Meek Mill has officially announced his fifth studio album, Expensive Pain.

The upcoming record is set to feature some of the Philly rapper’s latest singles, including “Sharing Locations” with Lil Baby and Lil Durk and “Blue Notes 2” with Lil Uzi Vert, the latter of which serves as a sequel to Mill’s “Blue Notes” from his DC4 mixtape. The album announcement also arrives with the unveiling of its cover art, which is an original painting by renowned artist Nina Chanel Abney.

Expensive Pain marks Mill’s first full-length release since 2018’s CHAMPIONSHIPS, which featured contributions from JAY-Z, Drake, Cardi B, Future, Anuel AA and Ella Mai, went on to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and earned him a GRAMMY nomination for Best Rap Album. The artist was recently honored with the Nelson Mandela Changemaker Award by PTTOW! (Plan to Take on the World) and he celebrated the award by dropping a visual for “Mandela Freestyle.”

Meek Mill’s Expensive Pain drops October 1.
