Kodak Black 'Bill Israel': Release date, concept, tracklist and all you need to know about new album from jail
Rapper Kodak Black might be serving his jail time till August 2022 after pleading guilty to illegal firearm possessions in early 2020, but that is not stopping him from dropping fresh music for his loyal fans. The 23-year-old rapper is all geared up to release his brand new album titled 'Bill Israel'. He had first announced the new project at the beginning of the year but shared new details about the same on October 26 via his official Instagram account which we are assuming is run by his team, since he is presently serving his sentence in jail.
The Instagram announcement came with cover art and the caption which read, “Bill Israel” 11 songs on 11/11” along with an emoticon of an arrow stuck in a dart. The new record will be the rapper’s third studio effort and is a follow-up to his 2018 album titled ‘Dying to Live’ which became his first LP to reach number-one on the Billboard 200 chart.
Release date
As confirmed by the Instagram post, Kodak Black’s brand new album will hit the Internet on November 11, 2020. According to Hot New Hip Hop, a docu-series will also be released on the same day.
Concept
HipHopDX had revealed in April 2020 that the album’s name was first called ‘Kill Bill.’ Kodak Black then changed it to ‘Bill Is Real,’ as reported by the hip-hop news website Hot New Hip Hop. However, as mentioned in the beginning, the album is now called ‘Bill Israel.’ It is being observed that Kodak, whose real name is Bill K. Kapri, is linked to the album’s newest name along with his faith- Jewish which he had discovered recently.
The covert art features a chalk-drawing of the ‘No Flockin’ hitmaker standing next to his rabbi. A star of David is etched near the Kodak’s face, alongside a hashtag saying “#TheStarOfDavid.” A lot of crosses are also placed randomly on the cover art.
Tracklist
The official tracklist of ‘Bill Israel’ was also announced via the rapper’s official Instagram account which also came with a caption, “Ain’t Nobody Did It How I’m Doing It And After Me Ain’t Nobody Going To Do It Like Me.
