Earlier today, French Montana unveiled the artwork for his Excuse My French debut album. Arriving on April 16, the album’s cover features a young child walking through the Moroccan desert. When speaking on the meaning behind the artwork, French explains to Rolling Stone the importance of his Moroccan heritage.
“The concept of the cover is to represent my journey from Morocco to New York, from a kid to a hustler, from the beginning to today. The deserts represent the dry period of my life when I had nothing and I had to work to get that water and to make a living for me and my family. It was only right that I used my son for that picture. He represents my future and me; I represent his past. It is all about the journey of my life, my music, and my movement.”
Expect French’s new single “Freaks” with Nicki Minaj to debut sometime this week. The raunchy cut features a sample of 90s song “Freaks” by Lil’ Vicious and Doug E. Fresh.

I used to feel French when he was doing the mixtape thing, really on the underground tip, and wasn’t really getting any commercial recognition. His flow was harder and the content of his raps more in the hardcore lane. Now he’s morphed into something else. Whatever it is, it’s just wackness. I respect the dude’s grind and street cred, but his music is trash now.

I love the cover. I doubt it will happen but i’d love if French actually made a few songs about what it was like spending part of his childhood there.

I think they’re wasting their time with this one. Ignorance isn’t the flavor of the day anymore.

Respect his street cred? What running around with a handy cam getting footage of rappers or getting shot in head then claiming to be on trial for murder that nigga ain’t got no street cred
