It's been roughly a month and a half since XXXTENTACION's death. Right before the rapper's passing, he signed a $10M deal with Empire who said that a new X album would be dropping this fall. We haven't received many posthumous records following his death but several of his former collaborators did drop unreleased music they worked on with him. Earlier today, Lil Pump hit the 'Gram to preview a joint called "Arms Around You" by XXXTENTACION.

Lil Pump and XXXTENTACION were both natives of Florida that came up around the same time but unfortunately, we never had the chance to hear them both on wax. Lil Pump previewed an unreleased collaboration from XXXTENTACION that showed a side of both artists we haven't heard in the past. "Arms Around You" has a dancehall influence to it and was produced by Mally Mall. It's unsure if this song will ever see the light of day but maybe we could expect it to land on X's posthumous album through Empire. 

Earlier this week, Lil Pump paid homage to XXXTENTACION alongside Smokepurpp during a recent set at Lit Up Festival. The two artists brought X's mom on stage with them as they performed X's track "SAD!" which was recently certified double platinum.

Check out a snippet of Lil Pump's unreleased collaboration with XXXTENTACION below.
