XXXTENTACION's upcoming project "Skins" is on the way.

As we approach the end of the year, one of the most tragic events of the year was the death of XXXTENTACION. While controversial, there wasn't any way you could deny that talent that he had. Within the span of a year, he released his debut album 17 and the follow-up ?. According to reports, his first posthumous album, Skins is due out in December. Today, the cover art for the album has been revealed.

XXXTENTACION estate is getting ready to release the first posthumous release from his catalog, Skins. With the first single off the project, "BAD" set to drop tomorrow (Nov. 9), his team has shared the official cover art for the project. The cover art is simply a photo of X's head from the side while he's presumably performing.

Although his team hasn't announced an official release date, several fans noted that iTunes revealed a Dec. 9th release date for the project. It's unsure if this is actually true, but it seems very likely that the project will drop before the year concludes. iTunes also revealed that the project is set to be 10 tracks and run for 17 minutes long. 

Skins might end up one of many posthumous records from XXXTENTACION. DJ Scheme, X's official DJ, recently revealed that Skins won't be the last project from X, although he didn't provide any more details.
