Trippie Redd, Birdman, DaBaby, and more appear on Rob49's latest album.

If you’ve been paying attention to the South, then the name Rob49 has definitely popped up on your radar within the past year. Hailing from New Orleans, LA, the Welcome To Vulture Island MC has undoubtedly become one of the rappers that should be on everyone’s radar. Throughout the past year, he’s kept his foot on the gas and continued to elevate from the underground into mainstream cognizance. Meanwhile, he’s also gained some massive co-signs from hip-hop’s biggest stars.

As the momentum continues to build up, Rob49 came through with the release of his new album, 4GOD II. Serving as the sequel to 2021’s 4GOD, Rob49 comes through with a slew of incredible talent attached to the tracklist. Birdman, once again, helps lead the campaign on “Woedy.” DaBaby appears on “Hate It Or Love It,” as well, while Roddy Ricch comes with the assist on “TRX.” Additionally, the project boasts features from G Herbo, Icewear Vezzo, Trippie Redd, and NoCap.

Rob49’s Big Moment

The release of Rob49's 4GODII will undoubtedly leave fans anticipating his next moves for the remainder of the year. His vulnerable, gut-wrenching delivery on records like “TRX,” for instance,” provides fans with a glimpse into the complexity of his emotions. Meanwhile, the rapper doesn’t fail to look back on the shooting earlier this year. On “Pill Head,” the rapper directly addresses the situation, rapping, “I'm feelin' like Scarface in the trenches with a sling (Brrt)/ I just got shot, I'm back outside like I ain't feel a thing.”

The release of 4GODII arrives over a year after he released Welcome To Vulture Island, which found him rubbing shoulders with some of rap’s biggest stars. From appearances from Midwest stars like Babyface Ray, Icewear Vezzo and Doe Boy to Lil Baby’s appearance on “Vulture Island V2,” Rob49 already proved that all eyes are on him. Check out his new album above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments.
