Florida rapper XXXTentacion's last album, the last time you'll hear his guitar, and the last time Mom X "consumes" his son.
Whether you listened to the album or not, you have to know the story of the album. Let's start with the origin of the name "Bad Vibes Forever" (hereinafter referred to as BVF).
BVF is a multi-faceted company created by X, including music labels and fashion brands, etc., which have been closely associated with him since he entered the rap industry.
On November 16, 2017, X announced that the BVF brand was about to launch a month later, and on December 18, he announced the names of two other albums and announced the order of release.
Now of course we all know that the first album is "? However, the second album has not yet been released, and X was brutally killed at gunpoint on June 18, 2018.
SKINS was finally released in December 2018, six months after his death.
June 18, 2019, marks the first anniversary of X's murder. His management company officially announced his second posthumous work, as well as a preview of a documentary about his life.
On July 19, 2019, "Royalty" was released as his title single.
The album's cover consists of jamaica's flag, the iconic palm of the X rim, and the song name "Royalty." The "Royalty" in the upper left corner of the cover and his "REVENGE" hoodie are designed in the same way.

The cover of the album was designed by Dylan Nior, who is also the author of The Album. and the cover designer of Members Only Vol.3.
On September 6, 2019, Company X released a deluxe version of the "? The album contains some song accompaniments and some of the recording dialogues.
On October 22, the second single "HEARTEATER" was released.
The cover of the song is a photo of X's ex-girlfriend, Geneva Ayala.
In 2016, her allegations of physical and verbal abuse of X against her led to controversy over X's entire career.
On October 18, 2019, when X's management company released a trailer for the song's MV, it was announced that X's ex-girlfriend would also appear in this MV.
The trailer begins with a voice memo from X on April 12, 2018, in which X explains his concept of this mv.
"I'll include my ex in a weird way. I feel like tying her into it makes the video amazing, and it-it almost, like, really captures everyone's minds and gives me the power that I truly deserve."
"I would have included my ex in a peculiar way, and I felt that tying her in would make the MV wonderful, and he would almost literally grab everyone's heart and give me the strength I really deserve."
On November 20, X Management unveiled the mystery of the BVF album, which included cameos from PnB Rock, Trippie Redd, Lil Skies, Billie Eilish and some members of Members Only;
On the 22nd, the album was released with the same single "Bad Vibes Forever", featuring cameos by X's best friend Trippie Redd and PnB Rock.
It is worth mentioning that this single was also included in Trippie Redd's recently released "ALLTY 4". The relationship between the two brothers can be managed by us, needless to say.
Having said all that, let's talk about the cover of this BVF album.
BVF's album cover was shot in late 2017, when X decided to shave off his eyebrows, dye his hair gray, and face the public in this "self-image-destroying" way.
According to X's mother, Cleo, X himself loved the picture very much, but never decided to use it as his album cover.
After his mother and his team decided afterwards, it was a good decision to use this picture as the cover of the album because X liked him very much.
The album still has a lot of guitar elements, but by now, some of the music is outdated.
The album lineup is average, with killstation and Craig Xen, both of which have played rock and roll, and people like Joey Bada$ who have appeared on previous albums.

Maybe X wants to leave quietly, or maybe the songs were arranged before.
Now it's good, all day long to pull consumption consumption, dead still let the song, is it difficult to wait for the leap month to send again?
In the end, I still can't help but sigh, all blame the U.S. gun legality...
If X hadn't died, he would have been a good melodic rapper, continuing to output some lyrical works to us.
