Ballads 1 (Limited Edition TTL Exclusive Cloudy Red Splatter Vinyl)

Following the release of his successful EP In Tongues, Joji's debut studio album In Tongues under the 88rising label made such a strong testament that it made members of the music industry to take his music seriously. It's the record wherein he forgoes the comedic persona of Filthy Frank, and rebirths himself as an effortlessly cool (if not edgy) musician who's become one of the most popular rappers out there today.

Although Ballads 1 features an impressive slew of guest appearances from Trippie Redd, Clams Casino, D33J and Shlohmo, the album is strong enough to retain the tormented intimacy of his music whilst simultaneously being catchy enough to warrant multiple listens up until the present day. It's a strong debut that only poised Joji as one of the most prolific rappers out there today, which is why it comes with high recommendations from us at Acetate Music.
