Today, Jacksonville rapper and CMG signee Lil Poppareturns with his new single, “Out Of Town Bae.” Download/stream the track here. An official video will arrive later today. The release sets the stage for a new project arriving this spring.

The single marks his first release of 2026 and continues the steady momentum built through Almost Normal Again, a 16-track project that solidified Poppa’s place among the South’s most consistent storytellers. Known for threading melody through unfiltered reflection, Poppa remains focused on delivering music that feels lived-in and relatable.

In support of the project, Poppa embarked on his Almost Normal Again Tour, a national run that kicked off in Washington, DC and concluded in his hometown of Jacksonville, FL. The trek brought his catalog to stages across the country and underscored the strength of his core audience.

With “Out Of Town Bae” arriving just ahead of Valentine’s Day, the record adds another chapter to Poppa’s growing catalogue of raw lyricism that have long resonated with listeners. The single adds to a catalog that includes projects such as Blessed, I Guess, Half Man Half Vamp, Wee Are Who We Are, and Almost Normal Again, each reinforcing his ability to translate lived experience into records that connect beyond his hometown.

LIL POPPA

Melodic and piercingly personal, Lil Poppa turned pain into purpose. Since emerging with singles like “Purple Hearts” in 2018, the 25-year-old has swirled unfiltered emotionality with wounded melodies for songs that heal himself, his city, and his fans. It’s a mission that’s made him one of the most potent voices in the Sunshine State, and it’s only continued on Almost Normal Again, a cathartic new album filled with love, lessons, and level ups. Unsparing, yet vulnerable, his latest finds transformation in trauma — reflection in recovery. Motivated by dreams to escape the chaos so many of his friends couldn’t, Poppa began recording songs in earnest in the mid-2010s, releasing projects like Life After Desi and Evergreen Wildchild in 2017. The mixtapes earned him local attention, it was 2018’s “Purple Hearts” that marked his arrival. The track, which detailed the aftermath of a shooting that left three of his friends dead, crystallized the power of his melodic storytelling. It also earned cosigns from artists like Polo G, who soon connected with him for 2019’s “Eternal Living.” By 2022, it also earned him a record deal with Interscope and subsequently, a deal with Yo Gotti and CMG.. Through it all, projects like Evergreen Wildchild 2 (2020), Blessed, I Guess (2021), Half Man Half Vamp (2023) and Wee Are Who We Are (2024) reinforced both his fan base and his belief in himself. In a career that already stretches nearly a decade, Poppa has shown that he can shift between emotions and themes with ease. But his most powerful songs are threaded by a sense of personal reckoning. His latest effort, Almost Normal Again, lives in both nostalgia and a hopeful future. “It’s a mindset thing. Once you decide you’re doing it for the people that are no longer here, you use the pain for motivation,” he says. “And then you’re unstoppable.”
