Octavian has finally announced details around his highly anticipated debut album, after a year filled with successful singles and features.
In addition to the album announcement, he has also shared new single ‘Famous’, enlisting the likes of Gunna and SAINt JHN to jump on the track with him.
“The concept of ‘Fame’ should be connected to the celebration of ones [sic] achievements, unfortunately nowadays it is the glamorisation of unthought-about entertainment,” Octavian explained of the track in a press statement.
Listen to ‘Famous’ below.
While we don’t know the title or exact release date of the album yet, we do know that it is set for release later this year and that it’s being executive produced by Skepta.
This isn’t the first time the two rappers have collaborated, with the two linking up earlier this year for their single ‘Papi Chulo’.
‘Famous’ marks the fourth lead singe we’ve heard from Octavian in 2020, including ‘Papi Chulo’. He linked up with Take A Daytrip, Obongjayar & Santi for ‘Poison’ while teaming up with Future for ‘Rari‘ – his first collaboration with an American rapper prior to ‘Famous’.
In addition, 2020 has also seen him feature on The Blaze’s single ‘Somewhere’ and Gorillaz‘ track ‘Friday 13th‘, as part of the group’s ‘Song Machine’ series.
