88Glam2 is the debut studio album by Canadian hip hop duo 88Glam. It was released through XO Records and Republic Records on November 16, 2018. The album features guest appearances from Nav and Gunna. Production was handled by 88Glam duo members Derek Wise and 88Camino themselves, as well as Villa Beatz, AlexOnWeed, Yung Shrimp Tempura, AAA Gray, Joseph L'étranger, Take a Daytrip, Russ Chell, Money Musik, Trouble Trouble, Frost, Rex Kudo, Sevn Thomas, Maaly Raw, Pro Logic, Dez Wright, Cubeatz, and Zancanella. The album was re-released under the name 88Glam2.5 on April 5, 2019. It contains two additional remixes of the songs "Snow Globe" and "Lil Boat", which add features from Nav and Lil Yachty, respectively. The album serves as 88Glam's last release under XO and Republic as they were dropped from both labels in early 2020.
Background
About two weeks after the release of the album, 88Glam sat down for an interview with Billboard.{{cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/88glam-album-interview-the-weeknd-advice-8487175/|title=88Glam Talk '88Glam 2' Album & The Weeknd's Best Advice|magazine=Billboard|last=Alysse|first=Bianca|date=November 29, 2018|access-date=November 29, 2018}} Both members of the duo commentated their opinions on the project.
88Camino said:
I think I am most excited about being able to take the new music on the road. We have been performing our first project for the past year. That is such a big part of our act, right? Still, the music is only a small portion of what people connect to us as an act. So with the new music, we can almost embody it. We will be able to present the fully developed idea of what the project is supposed to represent when we perform it live.
Derek Wise said:
For me, it is this feeling of getting off all of the creative content that we have for our fans. I know they have been waiting for it. We have not dropped a project of music in a little while. Again, there is just this feeling of giving fans what they want. It means the world.
The album was supported by one single: "Lil Boat", which was released on November 9, 2018.{{cite web|url=https://www.complex.com/music/2018/11/88glam-new-lil-boat-video|title=Premiere: 88GLAM Keeps It Trippy in New "Lil Boat" Video|website=Complex|last=Cowen|first=Trace William|date=November 9, 2018|access-date=November 16, 2018}} It was remixed to include a feature from Lil Yachty, in which the song is named after a popular nickname of his, which was released on March 8, 2019.{{cite web|url=https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/88glam-and-lil-yachty-mix-it-up-on-lil-boat-new-song.1982230.html|title=88Glam & Lil Yachty Mix It Up On "Lil Boat" Remix|website=HotNewHipHop|last=Marie|first=Erika|date=March 8, 2019|access-date=March 8, 2019}} The second single, "Kitchen Witch", was released alongside the album on November 16, 2018. The third and final single, "It's a Flex", which features Canadian rapper Nav, the duo's now-former labelmate from XO, was released on January 24, 2019.
