The fourth and final full-length album from award winning multi-platinum artist XXXTentacion, Bad Vibes Forever, has arrived! The late icon’s momentous project boasts an array of intentional features including Blink 182, Noah Cyrus, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Trippie Redd and Mavado, among others.
To celebrate, Bad Vibes Forever and EMPIRE hosted the official album release event at MAPS Backlot in Miami, FL during Art Basel yesterday. The immersive outdoor museum exhibit, produced by Ceremony of Roses, included Bad Vibes Forever merch, an on site tattoo artist, and never-before-seen memorabilia including hand-written notes and lyrics, rare photos, and X’s actual car–the infamous one that he was last seen alive in. WPLG Channel 10 reported live from the venue that afternoon, interviewing numerous fans who were camped out in line as early as 5am; watch the live segment HERE. By evening, the space was at capacity with powerhouse producer/DJ Diplo spinning, YesJulz hosting, and VIPs including Bhad Bhabie, IDK, Matt Ox, and T.I.’s son King Harris in attendance. Playboi Carti and PnB Rock showed out with explosive, surprise performances and Members Only performed a tribute set of classic X songs. At midnight, the Bad Vibes Forever album pumped through the sound system with moving visuals of the young legend accompanying each track.
Available now, Bad Vibes Forever is a collection of 25-tracks of original XXXTentacion music assembled by the late rapper’s mother and co-executive producer Cleo, co-executive producer John Cunningham, and manager Solomon Sobande. The album showcases X’s natural ability to create genre-bending hits ranging from the punchy Caribbean dancehall single “Royalty” featuring Ky-Mani Marley, Stefflon Don & Vybz Kartel to the raw, stripped-down alternative feel of “HEARTEATER” and the emotionally charged guitar-driven “bad vibes forever” title track featuring PnB Rock & Trippie Redd. View the full tracklist below.
In honor of the final posthumous album, a nine-piece capsule collection, created by BRAVADO, drops today, comprised of seven apparel items and two beanies. All pieces will be bundled with each digital download of Bad Vibes Forever. The collection can be found HERE.
