Kodak Black Announces Comeback Album "Just Getting Started" for Halloween Release
October 13, 2025 – Florida rapper Kodak Black is officially stepping back into the spotlight with his long-awaited album Just Getting Started, set for release on October 31, 2025, via Vulture Love/Capitol Records. The 20-track project marks a turning point for the Pompano Beach native, signaling both a creative rebirth and a bid to reclaim his spot among hip-hop’s elite after years of turbulence.
Born Bill Kahan Kapri, Kodak’s career has long mirrored his music—unfiltered, chaotic, and undeniably compelling. From breakout anthems like “Tunnel Vision” to a string of legal run-ins involving firearms, drugs, and probation violations, his journey has been anything but linear. After receiving a presidential pardon from Donald Trump in 2021, Kodak faced further hurdles, including a 2023 arrest for cocaine possession that was later dismissed. Those detours stalled momentum, with his 2023 album Pistolz & Pearlz debuting at No. 19 on the Billboard 200 before quickly fading.
Now, with Just Getting Started, Kodak seems intent on rewriting the narrative. Early teasers suggest a mix of raw trap grit and introspection, led by the single “Still Get Chanel” featuring Chance the Rapper, reuniting the duo for the first time since Coloring Book. Industry chatter hints that the album dives deeper into Kodak’s self-reflection—touching on faith, fame, and redemption—without losing the streetwise cadence that made him a defining voice of modern Florida rap.
For Kodak, the stakes couldn’t be higher. With streaming culture evolving and Southern trap once again dominating playlists, Just Getting Started could reestablish his commercial footing and cultural relevance. A strong debut might propel him back into the Top 10, reinforcing a legacy that already includes multi-platinum hits like “ZEZE” and “No Flockin.” Beyond the numbers, though, the album represents a redemption arc—a comeback narrative unfolding as hip-hop itself grapples with scandals, reinventions, and shifting power dynamics.
Fans can pre-save the album now on all major streaming platforms ahead of its Halloween drop—a fitting date for one of rap’s most hauntingly resilient figures to rise again.
