Fetty Wap has a lot to say on 'Zavier.’ It’s his first album since being released from prison

On Friday, Fetty Wap, born Willie Maxwell, releases his new album Zavier, marking his first major project since completing his prison sentence.
In January, Fetty Wap returned to home confinement after serving part of a sentence for his role in a New York-based drug trafficking scheme.
Recording 123 songs with collaborators, Fetty Wap selected 17 for the final list, a stark shift from 15-minute phone calls used during King Zoo.
Aiming to recapture the energy of his 2015 debut album, Fetty Wap explores diverse sounds on Zavier, blending fun, serious, and tender styles.
The track Remember, featuring Chicago artist Herbo, serves as a diaristic ode spanning pre-fame, incarceration, and homecoming, positioning Zavier as both reintroduction and new chapter.
