Hunxho answers the title of his album I Quit Rap with 20 songs

Hunxho released an album called I Quit Rap on 18 September, and the title is a feint. The Atlanta rapper is not walking away from anything. HotNewHipHop, which filed the record the morning it landed, opened its write-up by saying flatly that he did not actually quit, and the 20 songs behind the title make the point on their own.

The guest list is short by the standards of a long rap album and picked rather than padded. G Herbo takes I Am Who I Am. Hotboii turns up on Yessirrrr. Throw It appears twice, once with YKNIECE and Fatt Smaxk and again in a version with BabyDrill, which is an unusual amount of room to give one idea on a record this size.

Three of the songs had already been out for months. Change My Ways, Throw It and I Love My Hoe were released as singles across 2026, and HotNewHipHop reads them as a run that was building toward this album rather than filling time between projects. That is a different sort of rollout from the surprise drop, and it means a listener arriving on release day already knows a chunk of the tracklist.

Length is the decision worth arguing about. Twenty songs is a lot of ground, and the case HotNewHipHop makes for it is that Hunxho's appeal has always come from letting people into his personal life, so the extra runtime buys him room rather than padding. His catalogue has tended to hold street records and softer songs about love and damage in the same hand, and the tracklist here does the same: Learned How To Thug and BP Truck sit a few titles away from Anemia Lover and Love & Pain.

There is a gap in the report worth naming. The printed tracklist runs to 18 titles, while the write-up around it calls I Quit Rap a 20-track album. Nothing on the page reconciles the two numbers, so either two titles were left off the list or the count is loose. Our own earlier note on this story said no tracklist had been published at all, which was wrong: it is right there under the write-up.

What is genuinely absent is the business end. No label is named anywhere in the report, and not one producer is credited, on an album with 18 or 20 songs on it. For an artist whose records are built on mood as much as bars, that is a real hole, and it is the sort of thing that usually surfaces later through streaming credits rather than through a launch-day post.

HotNewHipHop's own archive puts another Hunxho album, Not One Of Them, in February 2026, which makes I Quit Rap the second full project he has put out inside eight months. That pace is the context the title is joking about. An artist releasing at this rate is not quitting, and the joke only works because everybody can see the release schedule.

Firm release dates as they are confirmed sit on the release calendar, and the rest of our coverage from this corner of the genre is on the hip-hop hub.
