Chicago-rapper Valee may be dropping new music at midnight, according to a new post on his Instagram.
"Who want a project at midnight n shit ? wit dis on it n shit ?," he wrote with a video of him previewing new music.
Fans in the comment section are excited. "Please I’ve been waiting flow unique af," one says. "I need something to bump so yea," adds another.
The new project may include his most recent single, "Not Playing," which dropped in January 2020. The Plu2o Nash produced track is a perfect example of what makes Valee unique, with strange flows, subtle bars, and otherworldly beats.
Andrew Barber, who manages Valee, wrote on Twitter, Saturday, "I promise @valee’s album is coming. Right now we’re just fighting over what records we’re gonna use." He also added that the discussion was internal for now, and not a disagreement with his label. He also confirmed it would release through Def Jam.
Valee originally gained popularity after the release of his 2018 EP, GOOD Job, You Found Me, which released through G.O.O.D. Music. His hit single "Womp Womp" took his career to another level. In 2019, he followed up with another EP in 2019, Runnin Rich. Perhaps, this new release will be his best work yet.

PartyNextDoor & Jhene Aiko Hold Down Our "R&B Season" Playlist
Vibe out to our R&B-focused playlist on Spotify.
We’ve been curating our R&B-centric Spotify playlist, “R&B Season,” for a few months now, but if you haven’t checked it out, now is the time. This week featured a handful of great additions including songs from PARTYNEXTDOOR, SZA, Justin Timberlake, Jhene Aiko and more.
“The Other Side” by SZA and Justin Timberlake is the first single for the animated film Trolls: World Tour. The addictive disco vibe is contagiously catchy. Both SZA and Timberlake blend together for the hook: “Back on your feet again, lift your head, hold it high/You wanna run it back, but you can’t turn the time.”
Jhene Aiko tapped Future and Miguel for his new single Happiness Over Everything (H.O.E.). Combing Aiko and Miguel’s heavenly voices on the same track is a guaranteed hit. “I hope she don’t think that I think that she some kinda hoe/I don’t care, that just lets me know that she knows what she wants, yeah,” the two sing on the hook. Future lends his voice for the second verse and some ad-libs throughout.
Check out the rest of “R&B Season” and more of our other playlists below.
