Bizzy Bone is set to drop a new album, The Wastelands, this month. The rapper made the announcement on social media, also sharing that the project will include a tribute to battle rapper Pat Stay.

The project is a follow-up to 2022's I'm Busy, and Bizzy said he's excited to get everyone's thoughts about his latest work.

“The NEW project ya’ll,” the legendary rapper said of the 19-track album. “Hope you guys like it. Worked very hard on this. Tell me what u think. Artwork and some exclusive previews to the music. Ya’ll right … I have been quiet. I know. Always quiet before the storm though. This album is ground breaking. PRE-ORDER NOW at IAMBIZZYBONE.COM.”

He continued by shouting out the designs on his new work. “These new designs are crazy!!!! The Biz Khalifa is siiiiiick and the last slide is the official 1st of the Month shirt," he said. "Certified approved and press by the maker himself baby! Independent ya’ll. Means by my self. Hard work. Mixing and mastering. I got a team though. My people are ready and strong. Or….. well we all understand that….”

In August, Bone had a street named in their honor in their hometown of Cleveland.

“Just to see all these things taking place is incredible,” Krayzie Bone told Rock The Bells of the honor. “Now is the time in our career where we’ve started to sit back and really take everything we've done in and recognize the foundation we've laid down. Other people are starting to recognize who did what and what we really did in this Hip-Hop industry.  I was never worried about receiving accolades or people not knowing what we brought to the business because it's all in due time. It’s going to come around for Bone. People ask me all the time, ‘Why people don’t show you no respect?’ I tell them I feel very respected in the industry. Just because people don’t mention our name in every best rapper list doesn’t mean the industry doesn’t respect us. When I come across all my peers, colleagues, other artists and celebrities, they all show Bone crazy love—from young to old. We don't have to be mentioned in every conversation to feel like we're being respected. I know the respect and love is there.” 

The Waste Lands is available for pre-order here and will be released on all platforms on September 12, 2023.
