The album finally has a release date and a title. In celebrating his 29th birthday, the producer unleashed a new cinematic trailer on YouTube which reveals that Heroes & Villains will arrive on November 4th.

Unfortunately, he's yet to reveal a tracklist or a list of guest features but we're sure that'll be coming in the near future.

The album will arrive nearly four years to the date of his debut album, Not All Heroes Wear Capes, which boasted features from Drake, Offset, Gucci Mane, 21 Savage, Kodak Black, WizKid, Travis Scott, and more.
