YG announces release date for new album ‘The Gentleman’s Club’
YG has announced the release date for his long-awaited new album.
The Compton rapper hasn’t released an album in four years, but that’s set to change this summer with his seventh studio effort.
On May 27th, YG revealed that his new album, The Gentleman’s Club, will arrive on June 19th.
The 36-year-old announced the news on Instagram while sharing the album cover, which shows him wearing a black jacket, tie, and white shirt, while holding gun fingers to his head.
Leading up to the project, YG has released many singles since 2025, including ‘2004’ with Buddy, ‘Hollywood’ with Shoreline Mafia, OHGEESY, and Fenix Flexin, ‘Lovers or Friends’ with Leon Thomas, ‘State of Emergency’, and ‘Teach You How to Luh Me’ with Ty Dolla $ign.
The artwork for each song aligns with the theme of The Gentleman’s Club, but it’s unclear whether any of the tracks will appear on the album.
‘2004‘ sees YG opening up about being sexually assaulted as a child. In the lyrics, he recalls an incident where he was raped by an older woman as a teenager.
YG released his last album, I Got Issues, in September 2022. It was his first solo LP to debut outside of the top 10 of the Billboard 200 chart.
His five albums before that, My Krazy Life, Still Brazy, Stay Dangerous, 4Real 4Real, and My Life 4Hunnid, all debuted inside the top 10.
Despite not releasing an album since 2022, YG did release a mixtape titled Just Re’d Up 3 in 2024. The follow-up to his 2013 mixtape, Just Re’d Up 2, had features from Lil Yachty, Ty Dolla Sign, Saweetie, Babyface Ray, G Herbo, Larry June, Mozzy, Tee Grizzley, and more.
