With his new mixtape released just a couple days ago, French Montana has his sights set on a much bigger project he says is just a few months away.
Speaking with Billboard for a recent interview Montana said his next project, Mac & Cheese: The Album, will likely be released at “the end of August” and announced a couple of big-name features to go along with it.
“I don’t have the exact date,” he said. “Probably the end of August. The mixtape is the appetizer, the album is the meal. I’ve been working on it [for] so long, but I saved the best for the album. I got Miguel on there… Kanye West. The album I’m trying to keep mostly for me, just a couple of features.”
Expanding on the Kanye feature, French admitted that the track isn’t yet finished.

“It was a blessing for him to even listen to my album and help me with it,” he said. “The song I have with him is not finished. I just feel like it shows growth, it’s like a totally different sound.”
Explaining the delay in official releases, Montana hinted that he’s held back in order to avoid over-saturation in the industry.
“I wanted to make sure that I was putting the right product out for me, but something that makes everybody happy at the same time,” he said. “[I’m] coming off my first album, and a few years [of] not putting [anything] out and still being on everybody’s single. From J.Lo, to working with Jay Z, to Miley Cyrus, will.i.am, those are experiences that let people who don’t know who French Montana is see my talent. I figure this time people know who French Montana is so I can give them my own product.”
