Multi-platinum artist, producer, and New York Times best-selling author Russ has officially revealed the cover art for his forthcoming album W!LD, slated to drop this spring or summer. The announcement follows the release of a cinematic album trailer shared last week on social media, offering fans a first look into the next chapter of his career.
W!LD marks Russ’s first full-length project since his 2023 chart-topping album SANTIAGO, following a string of successful singles released last year. The album is executive produced entirely by Russ and will feature a fresh lineup of collaborators, signaling a new creative era for the independent powerhouse.
“Embrace the unknown,” Russ shared, teasing the album’s theme and his mindset heading into this new phase.
Beyond music, Russ continues to expand his influence across entertainment and literature. His second book, it was you all along, recently earned a spot on The New York Times Best Sellers list and dominated Amazon’s charts, landing as the #5 self-help book globally and #1 in Rap & Hip Hop Musician Biographies.
Russ also made his acting debut in M. Night Shyamalan’s thriller TRAP and is set to star in the upcoming film Don’t Move, directed by Maclain Nelson and produced by Impractical Jokers’ James Murray and author Darren Wearmouth.
With W!LD, Russ promises to blend his signature authenticity with new sonic and visual storytelling, solidifying his place as one of today’s most versatile creatives.
