This year has been especially kind to Malone, so it’s hard to blame him for wanting to give it a proper farewell with a new project.

Beerbongs & Bentleys was the subject of quite a bit of debate back in October when the Grammys were reported as having made the call to consider it in the pop album categories, not rap. The rock categories at the upcoming 61st annual ceremony were also unnecessarily scrutinized after Kanye West’s team reportedly submitted his and Kid Cudi’s Ty Dolla Sign-featuring Kids See Ghosts cut “Freeee (Ghost Town Pt. 2)” for Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance consideration.
