It's his first record in two years.

Chicago artist Supa Bwe dropped off his seven-track EP, Just Say Thank You, after releasing three singles from the record: "Problem / Fuel," "Entropy," and "Time for Me." It's been two years since fans have received a full-length record from the 29-year-old Chi-Town native, and he enlisted a number of artists as features on the album including Chance The Rapper, Rexx Life Raj, Duffle Bag Buru, and Dounia.

Just prior to the album's release, Supa Bwe decided to have an Instagram Q&A session with his followers, later posting the answers in his Instagram Stories. When asked how he came up with the album's title he said, "The fact that I risk my life for the bag, but it goes unnoticed, unappreciated by the ones I risk it for. All it takes is a simple 'thank you.' The fact that I influenced/pioneered an entire sub-genre of hip hop and received no credit/acknowledgment. Not even a 'thank you.' I don't want nobody to kiss my ass. I just want to be acknowledged by those I influence/take care of/love, just like anybody else."
