The Kid LAROI (aka Charlton Kenneth Jeffrey Howard) has revealed on Instagram Live that fans can expect his album, titled THE FIRST TIME, to drop this November.
In a clip shared by a Kid LAROI TikTok fan page on Tuesday (Oct. 4), the singer said: “I wanted to come over here and say that I'm going to be a lot more active and keep you guys updated with everything.”
“The two things I want to come on and say is that my album is coming in November 100%. And we're changing the first single to Too Much and is coming very, very soon.”
“So yeah, I love you guys and thank you for being patient with me,” he concluded.
Despite his assurances, some fans weren’t convinced, with one commenting on the video: “You heard it from LAROI himself, album is dropping in November (which means hopefully by the end of 2024)”.
Another added, “He didn’t say what year 💀 don’t get your hopes up.”

The release is set to follow his mixtape debut F*ck Love in 2020, which included the single Go featuring the late rapper Juice WRLD. A reissue of the mixtape, titled F*ck Love (Savage), was then released on 6 November 2020, featuring Machine Gun Kelly, Marshmello, Internet Money and Youngboy Never Broke Again.
A third reissue of the mixtape, titled F*ck Love 3: Over You, was released on 23 July 2021, with appearances from Polo G, Stunna Gambino, Justin Bieber, G Herbo, Lil Durk, and Mustard.
The exciting news comes following a collaboration of a different kind for the Aussie star, who recently linked up with none other than McDonald’s as the face of face of the fast food giant’s latest menu option — the McCrispy and McCrispy Deluxe.
The chicken burger is apparently “a premium fried chicken burger that’s crispy, juicy, and tender to perfection” and “features 100% Aussie RSPCA Approved chicken breast with a crispy coating, topped with fresh shredded iceberg and cos lettuce and a new McCrispy signature sauce served in a soft glazed bun.”
Spruiking the new chicky burger, LAROI said: “Crispy, juicy and down-right delicious, the McCrispy has my seal of approval and it’s now part of my go-to Macca’s order.”
“I love a good chicken burger and am a huge Macca’s fan, so when I found out McDonald’s was launching its best chicken burger yet, I had to get involved.”
He added, “I can’t wait for Macca’s fans and chicken lovers to try this new game-changing burger and, of course, see the ad!”
