Saweetie Is ‘Finally’ Locked Into Record Her Album ‘Pretty B**ch Music’

The rapper firmly promises the album will arrive “definitely before the summer.”

It’s going to be an Icy summer for sure as Saweetie is locking in to finish recording her first album, Pretty B**tch Music, which is set to have a release before the summer she told Billboard in a recent interview.

“I’ve put my foot down. I’m going to finally lock in to record this album,” the chart-toppingrapper told the publication, confirming it will arrive “definitely before the summer.”

So far, the 28-year-old entrepreneur has spawned singles like “Tap In,” “Back To The Street” featuring Jhené Aiko, “Best Friend” featuring Doja Cat, “Fast (Motion),” and her most recent assisted upbeat single “Closer,” which features H.E.R.

Her most recent body of work to hold her fans over was the 7-track EP Pretty Summer Playlist: Season 1 which was released in April last year.

While we enjoy her recent disco-feels record, the High Maintenance superstar shared in the interview that she has an upcoming Latin collaboration and a song about meditation to deliver to her loyal Icy kings and queens.

She also confirms the forthcoming album will “address the different layers of who I am as a woman.”

“To be relevant and to be charting, that’s amazing,” she expresses.

“But I know that my purpose is to deliver a message. My message is to share my truth and to let women know that no matter what you’re going through, hard work pays off. I represent colored women, I represent ambitious women. I represent college girls. I represent women who don’t give a  and who are unapologetic.”

Shockingly, she tells the publication she feels she “rushed” her first two EPs High Maintenance and Icy Music.

“When you get signed, the label wants a hit,” she explained. 

"They want a return on their investment, which I understand,” she says. “But it’s important for artists to understand themselves before they start seeking hits. Because if you don’t know yourself, you don’t know your music.”
