I’m excited to share the details on Megan Thee Stallion’s upcoming deluxe album, “Megan: Act II.” The Houston-based rapper recently announced the release of this highly anticipated project, set to drop on October 25th.
Megan Thee Stallion took to social media to break the news, sharing a Pen & Pixel-inspired cover art that features the rapper in butterfly form with the album title written in diamond-encrusted letters. This visual oozes the early 2000s hip-hop aesthetic that Megan has become known for.
The deluxe album, “Megan: Act II,” will include 12 new tracks, plus the bonus song “Neva Play,” featuring RM of the K-pop group BTS. Other notable guest appearances include Twice on the “Mamushi” remix and Flo Milli on the track “Roc Steady.”
“THIS COVERRRR COME ON MONEY MAKING MEG,” wrote an excited fan in response to Megan’s announcement.
Released in June, the original “Megan” album debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, selling 64,000 total album units in its first week. The project spawned hits like “Hiss,” “Boa,” and “Mamushi,” the latter of which currently sits at No. 66 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Megan’s fans, affectionately known as “Hotties,” are eagerly awaiting the deluxe edition, which is sure to build on the momentum of the initial release. The rapper is also keeping busy with other ventures, including the upcoming “Hottieween” show in Chicago on October 31st, with proceeds benefiting the Pete and Thomas Foundation.
Additionally, on the same day as the release of “Megan: Act II,” the documentary “Megan Thee Stallion: In Her Words” will debut on Amazon Prime Video.
“I feel so honored to work with Amazon MGM Studios, Roc Nation, and TIME Studios to share Megan’s story,” said director Nneka Onuorah. “Her raw and beautiful spirit really shines through in the film. She champions the rights of all women to voice their truths.
As Megan Thee Stallion continues to captivate audiences with her unapologetic talent and persona, the release of “Megan: Act II” is sure to further solidify her status as one of the most exciting and influential artists in the music industry today.
