Aitch has announced his second album ‘4’, due out on 20 June 2025 via NQ Records/The Orchard.
The full-length will serve as the follow-up to 2022s ‘Close To Home’, drawing inspiration from the BRIT Award-winning rapper’s hometown roots and classic hip-hop icons such as Nas, 50 Cent, and Eminem, with contributions from several prominent British rap artists.
Aitch commented, “This album represents, first and foremost, my postcode. My postcode is M40, and for years, since we were kids, when we used to take pictures, we always used to throw 4’s up. It used to be our thing; we were always repping the 4. So with that being said, this is welcoming people into the ‘4’!
Even though this album isn’t necessarily as personal or as vulnerable as ‘Close To Home’ was, this is just a whole other side of my brain, where I’m just letting it all out, letting the vibes out, and just showing people what time it is where I’m from.
Especially being from Manchester, I feel like sometimes a lot of things are hidden. Because the scene is very London-centric, we don’t always get a look in sometimes, so this is me just ripping that canvas and bringing people into what’s going on over here.”
The new album announcement also follows the release of recent single ‘BOUNCE’ as well as AJ Tracey and Headie One collab ‘Friday Prayer’.
Furthermore, Aitch will perform B2B with AJ Tracey at BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend in Liverpool next month.
