Stove God Cooks is finally ready to follow up his underground classic Reasonable Drought , which he dropped alongside Roc Marciano back in 2020. Since then, he’s been on an impressive feature run (mainly on Grisleda records) and has had to deal with a plethora of leaks that have only sent demand for a sophomore album to a fever pitch, especially after his scene-stealing chorus on the Clipse ‘s LET GOD SORT EM OUT standout “F.I.C.O.” Now, after a year of label drama and false starts — including one scrapped project in Goat Stamp , and a March 27 release date for the album we’re here to talk about — his parent label Babygrande has a entered a joint partnership with Warner Records in an effort to finally give fans what they’ve been waiting for in a new full-length album. Part of the reason for the delay has been because Stove wasn’t really aware of how things worked on the sample-clearing side of the business — because he’s used to working alongside prolific rappers like Griselda Records founder Westside Gunn, who craft albums and drop them in a span of a week. “I didn’t understand a lot of s—t, you know? So, things that was pissing me off, it was really the way I was seeing s—t,” he explains to me over Zoom. “My references wasn’t the way s—t really go. I’m seeing my people move this way. Why we taking so long to drop albums? I see West drop an album in three days. I know he got samples in his s—t. I’m on the songs. So, it’s that kind of s—t. But once you rip the sheet off and Gunn starts telling me about the lawsuits and s—t that he deals with, I’m like, ‘Oh, no, this s—t is for real.'” Now, alongside legendary producer Swizz Beatz , he’s finally beginning the rollout for his long-awaited sophomore album All This For Me? They first dropped the warm up single, “ Welcome to My Garden ,” earlier this year in February (which has been “elevated,” according to Stove and Swizz) and the duo recently released the project’s second single and music video in “Stovie’s Home (Down Down)” this past Friday (Nov. 6). And the Syracuse, N.Y. rapper is excited for his fans to finally hear what he’s been working on and put the rollercoaster that was this past year behind him. “The s—t is a super blessing, man,” he says. “That’s the reality of this moment for me right now. All the other s—t, the old s—t, none of s—t matter to me right now.” Check out my conversation with Stove God Cooks & Swizz Beatz below as we talk their creative process, their chemistry and what fans can expect once they finally get to hear what they’ve been cooking up. So, the word is you signed a deal with Warner. So what can you tell us about that? Stove God Cooks: S—t feel good. You’ve ask Jay-Z for help in regards to your label situation, did he play a part in any of this? Whethe
