Laila to Make the Most of Her Gap Year on Upcoming Debut Album

Now that the hip-hop mystery about Laila!’s father has been solved (yes, Yasiin Bey, previously known as Mos Def, is her dad), the public can go back to focusing on the music. This is perfect timing considering the “That’s Not My Problem” rapper’s debut album is slated to drop soon.

Over on her official X (formerly Twitter) page, Laila! announced her very first project with two adorable and appropriately thematic graphics. “Gap Year! MY VERY FIRST ALBUM IS YOURS SEPTEMBER 6TH! 17 songs!! u can pre save now :)),” she wrote.

Supporters can expect to hear her viral breakouts “Like That!” and “Not My Problem” alongside a host of new tracks supposedly entirely produced by Laila! It is unclear if the forthcoming project will feature any guest features, but after Cash Cobain’s massive mega remix of her standout, fans are surely hoping there are a few.
