Kodak Black chronology

Bill Israel is the third studio album by American rapper Kodak Black.[1] It was released on November 11, 2020, via Atlantic Records. The album features guest appearances from Tory Lanez, Jackboy, Gucci Mane, CBE and Lil Yachty.[2]

Background

Kodak took to Instagram to announce his third studio album on October 26, 2020, while serving a 46-month prison sentence.[3] In this post, Kodak revealed the project's title, length, and cover art, which features Kodak alongside a Rabbi, surrounded by doodles. Many of the sketches are religious, such as the multiple crosses, a Star of David, and "#THESTAROFDAVID". These are in reference to Kodak's Hebrew Israelite identity, which he discovered while he was incarcerated after studying scripture with a Rabbi, who served as a prison chaplain.[4]

On November 5, 2020, Kodak Black published the album's tracklist.[5] Similar religious imagery to the front cover art is also present on the tracklist.
