Fans have been patiently waiting for the release of Fabolous & Jadakiss’ Freddy Vs. Jason project since Fab first announced it way back in February of 2016. While we received the Tory Lanez-assisted single “Rapture” earlier this year, the NYC duo have been keeping us in the dark about when we could expect to hear the long awaited project ever since. In fact, back in June, Fab informed fans in an interview with Billboard that they were looking at possibly Halloween for its release.
"We're just working really, man. We're not rushing the process, for one. I didn't really think it was a summer project, though," the rapper said. "After we got passed winter, I was like, 'This is not a summer project.' This is one of those grime projects and we're looking towards the fall again. Also, Halloween is coming around. That would be a cool little twist, too, but there's no rush to it," he added. "We're just taking our time and I think it's something that people are going to take advantage of no matter when it comes. Of course, you don't want to wait forever for it. We don't want to Detox the situation, but we definitely don't want to rush it and people be like, 'Ugh. This is what you guys did after all that time. We're gonna handle it though.”
After returning to the scene Tuesday with the single “Stand Up” with Future, the two NYC rappers decided to make their way by The Angie Martinez Show On Power 105.1 and finally spill the beans on the projects release date. According to Fab, Freddy Vs Jason will be dropping this Black Friday, November 24th.
“It’s definitely coming. I mean we looking at Black Friday. I don't even know if I was supposed to say that, but you just pulled it out of me,” Fabulous told Angie when he asked about its release date.
They wouldn’t say anything more about the joint album, but thankfully we only have to wait just about 3 more weeks till it arrives. We'll continue to keep you posted moving forward.
