Kai Cenat’s “Mafiathon 2” has been a whirlwind of entertainment, drawing major stars from across the music world, including SZA, who confirmed her anticipated album is coming soon.
On Saturday night, November 23, the “Saturn” hitmaker and Lizzo made surprise appearances on Cenat’s stream, creating memorable moments that ranged from playful pranks to prize wheel antics, all while captivating viewers with their chemistry and humor.
The highlight of the evening came during a casual kitchen chat when SZA dropped a bombshell about her upcoming music. When Cenat pressed her for details, she coyly revealed, “Before the year is over,” before taking a sip from her drink. The cryptic confirmation sent both Lizzo and Cenat into a frenzy, with fans flooding the chat with celebratory comments.
This revelation ties into a recent hint from TDE president Punch, who teased more releases from the label before 2024. His earlier post acknowledged stellar projects from artists like ScHoolboy Q, SiR, and Doechii, and now, SZA’s announcement confirms she’s part of the year-end lineup.
SZA’s fans have eagerly awaited new solo material, especially after her contributions to Kendrick Lamar’s surprise album, GNX. Her haunting vocals on tracks like “Luther” and “Gloria” showcased her range and further cemented her standing in the industry.
Speculation about her next album has been building, with little insight into potential collaborations. While she appeared in Drake’s For All the Dogs, their inclusion in each other’s projects seems unlikely given Drake’s ongoing feud with Lamar, adding an intriguing layer to the anticipation.
SZA’s connection to Lamar also extends beyond music. In a recent Harper’s BAZAAR feature, she interviewed the Compton icon, delving into the philosophy behind his track “Not Like Us.”
Lamar described it as an expression of his values, saying, “The man I represent stands for something—morals, integrity, purpose. It’s not about pandering; it’s about conviction.”
Their conversation offered a rare glimpse into the ethos driving Lamar’s artistry, further fueling excitement about their respective projects.
As SZA’s album edges closer to release, fans are left to speculate on its sound and collaborations. Her ability to bridge genres and craft deeply personal narratives ensures her next offering will be another defining moment in her career.
With only weeks left in 2024, the countdown is officially on.
