Jahseh Dwayne Ricardo Onfrox, better known as XXXTentacion lost his life six months ago, and while the late rapper’s legacy continues to inspire through his music and recent posthumous accolades, it is now confirmed that a new X album will drop before the end of 2018.
The 20-year-old’s third studio album, entitled Skins, will be a follow up to his successful ? project that dropped earlier this year, before X’s untimely death. This will be the first full length offering since his passing, as the rapper has been featured on posthumous singles “Falling Down” with the late rapper Lil Peep, Lil Wayne’s Carter V featured track “Don’t Cry” and Lil Pump and Swae Lee’s “Arms Around You.”
