Rich Homie Quan’s 35-Song Posthumous Album ‘Forever Going In’ Is Here
Rich Homie Quan’s family and team have released the late Atlanta rapper’s first posthumous album, a 35-song effort titled Forever Going In.
The album was announced on Instagram Thursday and arrived at midnight, Oct. 4. The announcement was accompanied by a note that appeared to be written in Quan’s voice: “34 listed songs ironically that’s the age I… 🕊️🙏🏿😔bonus 1 extra, because tomorrow will forever be a celebration! My GIF to my Fans.”
Forever Going In includes the previously released “Song Cry,” which dropped at the end of September and came with a video that featured old footage of the rapper as well as some scenes from his funeral. The album also includes collaborations with 2 Chainz, Lil Tjay, Plies, Quicktrip, Sukihana, Vvsnce, Skilla Baby, and Duuo.
In an interview with WSB-TV in Atlanta not long after Quan’s death, the rapper’s father, Corey Lamar, mentioned that his son had “just completed a 20- or 25-song project” and was in the process of scheduling a pair of video shoots with 2 Chainz and Plies. Lamar also suggested there would be much more music to come.
“Quan had probably over 2,000 unreleased songs,” he said. “But once he gets in a mode to record, those songs become old to him. And when they become old he wants to focus on the new stuff. He has a catalog in the vault. He has a ton of music that the fans need to hear.”
Quan — whose real name was Dequantes Devontay Lamar — died Sept. 5. His death was recently ruled an accidental drug overdose according to the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office. They found a mix of fentanyl, alprazolam, codeine, promethazine, and THC in his system.
