POMPANO BEACH, Fla. (Raptology) — Kodak Black is preparing to return with new music this week after officially announcing his upcoming album, Kodak The Blessing.
The Florida rapper revealed the project on social media over the weekend, confirming that the album is scheduled for release on June 12. Alongside the announcement, Kodak shared artwork and a list of featured artists, generating immediate excitement among fans across social media platforms.
According to information released by Kodak and several music outlets, Kodak The Blessing will feature appearances from Fridayy, Rylo Rodriguez, 1900Rugrat, Albee Al, G Thugg, Shadea Charai and other collaborators. Kodak also hinted at the project’s arrival with a brief social media message that suggested he is eager to begin the album’s rollout.
The announcement marks Kodak’s first major release campaign since 2025’s Just Getting Started, which featured appearances from artists including Chance the Rapper, Gunna, Don Toliver, Pharrell Williams and Lil Yachty. That project continued a productive stretch for the rapper, who has remained one of the most commercially successful artists to emerge from South Florida over the past decade.
Born in Pompano Beach, Kodak Black rose to national prominence with songs such as “No Flockin,” “Tunnel Vision,” “Roll in Peace,” and “Zeze.” His 2018 album Dying to Live debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, while the 2021 hit “Super Gremlin” became one of the biggest rap records of the decade and reestablished him as a dominant force on streaming platforms.
The new album arrives during a period in which Kodak’s music career has once again become intertwined with headlines outside the recording studio. In recent months, the rapper has faced renewed legal challenges, though he has continued to record and release music throughout the controversy.
Fans online have responded positively to the announcement, particularly after reports surfaced that the project could contain as many as 26 tracks. The combination of a lengthy tracklist and several high-profile guest appearances has fueled speculation that Kodak The Blessing could become one of the summer’s most talked-about hip-hop releases.
The album’s title has also generated discussion among listeners, with some interpreting it as a reflection of Kodak’s personal struggles and attempts at redemption. The artwork reportedly features symbolic imagery associated with temptation, faith and perseverance, themes that have frequently appeared throughout the rapper’s catalog.
Whether Kodak The Blessing delivers another chart-topping moment remains to be seen. What is certain is that Kodak Black continues to command attention whenever he announces a new project. For a rapper whose career has been defined by both controversy and commercial success, Friday’s release could represent another significant chapter in one of hip-hop’s most unpredictable stories.
