Fetty Wap is back. The “Trap Queen” rapper announced his new album Zavier on Monday (March 16). It will serve as his first LP since being released from prison in January.
“I’m just happy and grateful to be back and thankful that my fans didn’t forget about me. I’m so thankful to my family, fans and team for holding me down,” Fetty said in a statement about the project. “This new music is a reflection of a new chapter in my life. I just want to bring back good energy and good vibes. I love y’all.”
With Zavier set to arrive on March 27, Fetty raised hype around the project with a cinematic trailer on Monday, which finds him detailing where he’s at in life after returning to the rap game following a three-year prison sentence.
“When you lose the money everybody think that’s the worst part,” Fetty said in the black-and-white clip. “When it get real quiet that’s when it hit different. I got so used to hearing Fetty everywhere I go, before I even knew who Zavier was. Somewhere in all that, I became a character in my own life. People really loved what I could provide for real, not who I really was.”
Zavier boasts 17 tracks and serves as Fetty’s first full-length release since 2023’s King Zoo. Features on the project remain unknown.
Fetty added in an IG post: “The last time the studio felt like this… I was making Trap Queen.”
Fetty Wap (born Willie Junior Maxwell II) was released from prison in January — 11 months ahead of his expected December release — after serving more than three years behind bars on federal drug charges.
Fetty will hit the road for a handful of northeast shows in April following the project’s arrival. The trek kicks off with a homecoming show in Montclair, N.J., on April 4, before heading to Hartford, Conn.; Albany, N.Y.; and Stroudsburg, Penn.
