Stove God Cooks has found a home for his much anticipated sophomore album.
After a year of false starts, a scrapped Goat Stamp album, a February lead single in “Welcome to My Garden” and a previous March 27 release date, All This For Me? will be released early 2027 via Babygrande Records in partnership with Warner Records Billboard has exclusively learned.
And while the Syracuse, N.Y. rapper has been keeping himself busy with features on songs like “Live or Let Die” with French Montana and Max B and “The Aroma” with Fat Joe and Jadakiss, he’s remained patient and is excited to finally give his fans a new full length album.
“Everything played out exactly how it was supposed to,” he said in a press release. “Real power is knowing when to walk away! Even from something the world thinks you need. A lot of people are afraid to do that. I’m not one of them. When God has His hand on you, what’s meant for you can’t miss you. This new season isn’t luck! It’s confirmation! I’m excited about this next chapter and what we’re building with Warner Records, but even more excited to give my fans the music and the moment they’ve patiently waited for.”
Chuck Wilson, founder and CEO of Babygrande Records used his industry connects to help find a home for this particular record after he and Stove renegotiated their initial deal.
“I met Julian Petty from Warner a decade ago. I would send him Stove updates from time to time and at some point he took notice,” he recalled. “He reached out to me, Stove and I flew out to LA to meet Warner’s team and the vibe was great. This all paved the way for what I believe is a fantastic partnership that is beneficial to all parties. Relationships are everything in the music business.”
All This For Me? will be fully produced by Swizz Beatz, who will also serve as the project’s executive producer.
“You don’t often get to revisit the past but this was the rare opportunity to partner with one of my former law clients (Babygrande) to help propel one of hip-hop’s most compelling storytellers, Stove God Cooks,” adds Julian Petty, executive VP and head of business & legal affairs at Warner Records.
