Following standout performances at Rolling Loud LA and Miami and opening slots for Lil Yachty and Chief Keef, Stoop Lauren has proven he’s not just keeping pace—he’s setting it.
On his solo debut Villain, Stoop unleashes fearless rap cadences over a dynamic 808-driven backdrop, pushing innovation while keeping listeners locked in from start to finish. The project blends longtime collaborators with fresh energy from producers like 614Ase (Veeze, Larry June, Luh Tyler, AzChike) and Hollywood Cole (Drake, Lil Wayne, Jack Harlow, Meek Mill, Earl Sweatshirt), giving the sound both grit and pedigree.
Conceptually, Villain embraces duality—Stoop as the so-called villain in someone else’s story, yet the hero of his own. The album channels the rise-to-power aura of Scarface, The Sopranos, and The Godfather, fueled by audacious delivery, sharp wit, mastery, and unapologetic ambition. Standout tracks like “Count It Up,” “P$YCHO,” and the explosive “Phoenix Rising (John Blaze)” showcase Stoop’s range, cementing his presence as one of rap’s rising voices while restoring a cinematic edge that hip-hop has been missing for quite some time. This fall, Stoop is taking Villain on the road—headlining shows across key cities and performing at select pop-ups and showcases that bring the Villain experience to life in raw, high-definition form: from underground grit to theatrical spectacle.
