Lil Pump 2

Lil Pump released his eponymous debut album in October 2017, which marked his official transition from being a SoundCloud rapper to being in the mainstream eye.{{Cite web |date=2022-05-11 |title=Lil pump on Twitter: "October 6th Lil Pump Tape 🎆...

In August 2022, during an interview with Inked Magazine, Lil Pump originally confirmed that it would be dropping that same month, however, that ended up not being the case.

On March 10, 2023, Lil Pump took to Instagram to reveal the album's cover art and tracklist, with features ranging from YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Rio Da Yung Og, the previously mentioned Smokepurpp, Ty Dolla Sign, and G4 Boyz.{{Cite web |last=Nevares |first=Gabriel Bras |date=2023-03-11 |title=Lil Pump Announces "Lil Pump 2," Tracklist Features YoungBoy, Ty Dolla $ign & More |url=https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/644464-lil-pump-announces-lil-pump-2-tracklist-features-youngboy-ty-dolla-ign-more |access-date=2023-03-21 |website=HotNewHipHop |language=en-US |archive-date=2023-03-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230318001208/https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/644464-lil-pump-announces-lil-pump-2-tracklist-features-youngboy-ty-dolla-ign-more |url-status=live }}

On March 11, 2023, Pump announced the cover art for Lil Pump 2 via social media. The cover portrays more of a rock/punk theme to it. It shows Pump shaking his head, with his hair spelling "LP2".{{Cite web |last=Nevares |first=Gabriel Bras |date=2023-03-11 |title=Lil Pump Announces "Lil Pump 2," Tracklist Features YoungBoy, Ty Dolla $ign & More |url=https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/644464-lil-pump-announces-lil-pump-2-tracklist-features-youngboy-ty-dolla-ign-more |access-date=2023-03-18 |website=HotNewHipHop |language=en-US |archive-date=2023-03-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230318001208/https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/644464-lil-pump-announces-lil-pump-2-tracklist-features-youngboy-ty-dolla-ign-more |url-status=live }}

Reviewing the album for Clash, Robin Murray stated "'Lil Pump 2 is all glitz and fireworks, while never truly leading from the front. Tapping back into his core values, it's a fan pleaser, but ultimately finds Lil Pump staying still." Sabrina Morris from HotNewHipHop gave the album a "HOTTTTT" rating, equal to a 4/5. She praised the album for being "similar to his previous work as most of the songs have a catchy hook, a heavy, hard-hitting baseline, and strong 808s". Aylor Rubright from HipHopDX stated: "On Lil Pump 2. His best work tends to be energetic, zany, and a bit funny, but Lil Pump 2 is rarely able to strike a meaningful balance between these three aspects. Whereas his older music was able to capture those characteristics in a way that felt organic, it now feels like he's simply going through the motions without any sort of chemistry between artists, producers, and engineers naturally taking the reins in a studio session."{{Cite web |date=2023-05-02 |title=Lil Pump 'Lil Pump 2' Phones It In On Unimaginative Comeback Attempt |url=https://hiphopdx.com/reviews/lil-pump-lil-pump-2-album-review |access-date=2023-05-08 |website=HipHopDX |language=en |archive-date=2023-05-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230507015501/https://hiphopdx.com/reviews/lil-pump-lil-pump-2-album-review |url-status=live }}
