Perfect Fantasy Archives - New Hip Hop News

GRAMMY-nominated Atlanta rap duo EARTHGANG has announced their upcoming album Perfect Fantasy, set to release on October 29th. The highly anticipated album’s lead single, “Love You More” featuring T-Pain, will drop on October 11th.

Alongside the album announcement, EARTHGANG revealed two headlining shows—one in Mexico City on October 29th and another in Tokyo on December 5th. Perfect Fantasy is heavily inspired by Japanese culture and continues the duo’s experimental EARTHGANG VS. The Algorithm series, following the release of the ROBOPHOBIA EP earlier this year. That project featured collaborations with Snoop Dogg, Spillage Village, and Tommy Newport.

Perfect Fantasy delves into the growing influence of artificial intelligence on society, with EARTHGANG imagining a world where humans can live more freely, beyond the constraints of technology. The album is expected to further explore the themes of societal control and futuristic landscapes introduced in ROBOPHOBIA.

2024 has been a busy year for EARTHGANG, who also released the collaborative SNAKEGANG EP with Snakehips over the summer. With the upcoming release of Perfect Fantasy, the duo continues to push creative boundaries and expand their sound.

Two years after the release of their fourth studio album, Ghetto Gods, Earthgang has announced the release date for its follow-up. Perfect Fantasy will be out on October 29 via Dreamville and Interscope, and will be preceded by lead single, “Love You More” featuring T-Pain.

Although the Atlanta duo has put 24-plus months between full-length releases, they’ve remained busy over the past two years, dropping three EPs: EarthGang vs. The Algorithm: RIP Human Art , Robophobia, and Snakegang with EDM duo Snakehips. They also performed at Coachella in 2023, and were billed to open on Kid Cudi’s Insano Tour this summer, but the tour was canceled as a result of Kid Cudi’s broken foot from this year’s Coachella festival.

According to a press release, Perfect Fantasy will be “heavily inspired” by Japanese culture and continues the theme of the duo’s ongoing EarthGang VS. The Algorithm project. The group has been openly critical of the effects of AI on art and culture — especially music — as seen by the titles of their EPs, which are also part of the series. They previously addressed the impact that social media has had on parasocial engagement with celebrities in their 2023 single, “Die Today.”

Perfect Fantasy is due 10/29 via Dreamville/Interscope. You can find more info here.
