Ovrkast. Reveals Release Info for His Sophomore Album

Summary

• Ovrkast. has announced his sophomore studio project, WHILE THE IRON IS HOT.
• “I’M ON” arrives as the latest single, following up “Small Talk” with Samara Cyn.
• The album drops on May 30.

Oakland’s very own has unveiled his next move. After being announced as Saba‘s support on his imminent The Big Picture Tour, Ovrkast. has lifted the curtain on his latest LP, which will mark his second studio album.

Entitled WHILE THE IRON IS HOT, the emerging California talent’s next new project is set to drop at the end of the month. He’s already started heating up the release with its new single “I’M ON,” which landed paired with a cinematic new music video and last week’s live beat-making event hosted by the rapper himself at NYC’s Essx streetwear outpost.

Earlier this month’s “Small Talk” with Samara Cyn is also set to land somewhere on the tracklist – though it hasn’t been revealed yet.

WHILE THE IRON IS HOT will land as Ovrkast.’s first full-length release in five years, and, per a press release, will “feel refreshingly modern, [while still] harkening back to the sample-based production and lyric-centric approach that defined hip-hop’s golden age.”

“Alright, it took a loooooooong time to get to this point. I had to go through an immense amount of change, loss and again to receive the clarity and focus in order to create an album like this,” the rapper wrote in an Instagram caption.

“It’s my favorite piece of work so far and I spent a lot of time on it. As well as my team. Thank you to everyone involved. Features, Collaborators, Friends, Family, Producers, Visual Artists. Everyone. Words cannot explain how excited I am to deliver this to you all.”

Stream “I’M ON ” – out everywhere now, and expect WHILE THE IRON IS HOT to drop on May 30.
