James Blake & Lil Yachty – Bad Cameo (New Vinyl) (Limited Edition) (Royal Purple Vinyl)

NEW LP

New sealed copy. Indie record store exclusive limited edition on royal purple coloured vinyl.

Bad Cameo is a collaborative studio album by English singer and producer James Blake and American rapper Lil Yachty. It was released on June 28, 2024, by Quality Control Music, Motown, and Republic Records. The album is Blake's seventh and Yachty's sixth. 

Blake and Yachty were first connected by their mutual friend Cam Hicks. Yachty had previously messaged Blake via Instagram in 2020 to praise his album Assume Form; Blake said he never saw the message, though he did say he'd "been a fan of Yachty for years. And when I heard his last record (Let's Start Here), I was like, this is really a turn. Not many artists are brave enough to do something that’s kind of opposite of the last thing they did."

When deciding on what kind of music the duo wanted to make, Yachty told Blake that he'd worked on enough hip hop music in his career and that Yachty wanted them to work on something completely different. Blake responded by showing Yachty some ambient music he'd been working on around the same time as his 2023 album Playing Robots into Heaven, and Yachty played his own music which matched the mood of Blake's.

Bad Cameo was announced on June 6 with its release date set for June 28 by Quality Control Music, Motown, and Republic Records. The duo also released the album's cover art, an overhead photo of a table showing Blake's hand next to a cup of tea and Yachty's next to a cup of lean.
