It looks like SZA's long-delayed—and possibly final—album Ctrl will finally be out very soon.
On Wednesday night, TDE founder Top Dawg tweeted out a short video that featured SZA leaning against a bunch of discarded electronics while RZA narrated. Midway through, a date appeared on the screen: 6.9.17.
"It's my honor to drop this lesson," RZA said. "It's my honor to give this blessing."
The road to Ctrl has been rocky. Last October, Top Dawg tweeted out that the album, long thought to be completed, was not actually done. Around the same time, SZA briefly threatened to quit music altogether. By the end of the year, it was clear that Ctrl would drop sometime in 2017, though it was not apparent when.
But now Self-Saviour Zig-Zag-Zig Allah (as RZA calls her in the video, per the Nation of Gods and Earths' Supreme Alphabet) is finally ready to share her album with the world. Fans, of course, were ecstatic at the news.
On Thursday, we got a first look at the official artwork for CTRL.
And here's the tracklist. It features Kendrick Lamar, James Fauntleroy, and Isaiah Rashad.
