RiFF RAFF and Ronny J have a whole album coming this fall

We haven't heard a whole lot of music from RiFF RAFF over the past few months but that looks like it's going to change this fall. Earlier in the year, it was revealed that he penned a deal with Blackbear's "Beartrap Sound" for $500K. Since then, he hasn't released a ton of music but he's preparing to drop a new album in the near future. The rapper hit Twitter that he has a new project dropping this fall with the production handled by one of the game's most sought after producers.

RiFF RAFF is coming through with his new album, Vanilla Gorilla this fall. Although he didn't reveal when it would be dropping, the project will be entirely produced by Ronny J. 

"RiFF RAFF iS DROPPiNG HiS HARDEST ALBUM EVER THiS FALL 2018 RiFF RAFF VåNiLLå GöRiLLå," he announced on Twitter. "WHOLE ALBUM PRODUCED BY @RONNYJLiSTENUP"

The announcement of his new album comes a few months after he faced multiple accusations of rape and sexual misconduct. The accusations ultimately resulted in a cancellation of his Australian tour. The rapper has since denied all the claims made against him. Shortly after the allegations surfaced, he revealed that he was working on a documentary titled, "TRiAL BY MEDiA" which was meant to explore unsubstantiated claims of sexual assault and abuse against men in the entertainment industry.
