In 2022, Megan Thee Stallion gave fans her most visceral self-inventory to date with Traumazine. Now, we're poised to learn even more about Megan.

That's the apt title of the firebrand rapper's next album, announced during the first of Atlanta stops on her Hot Girl Summer Tour on June 2. Speaking to Women's Health last spring, she declared Megan — whose title hadn't been revealed at the time — to be her most realized work to date. As she explained, the motif of Megan is an ancient and nigh-universal one: the snake.

"I was inspired to create this album about rebirth because I feel I am becoming a new person physically and mentally," she stated, amid descriptions of her heightened wellness practices. "[Snakes are] feared, misunderstood, respected, healing." And in a teaser, she poignantly proclaimed "Just as a snake sheds it skin, we must shed our past, over and over again."

We're still early in the rollout process — but regardless, here's what GRAMMY.com could dredge up about Megan as of press time.

In 2023, Megan Thee Stallion exited 1501 Certified Entertainment, her formal label — the culmination of a hairy legal dispute.

While her distribution deal with 300 Entertainment, owned by Warner Music Group, remains, Megan will be released under the rapper's own independent music and entertainment company, Hot Girl Productions.

We Have The Tracklisting

Meg has revealed that her new album will feature 18 songs — including collaborations with Victoria Monét ("Spin"), as well as a UGK reunion with Bun B and the departed Pimp C on “Paper Together." Additionally, rapper Kyle Ricch appears on "B.A.S."; GloRilla on "Accent," as well as Japanese rapper Yuki Chiba (formerly known as "Kohh") on "Mamushi."\

  18. "Cobra"

True to her snake motif, Megan Thee Stallion has released three slithering bangers from Megan.

In November 2023, she unleashed "Cobra," whose video co-starred one hellacious asp; in "Hiss," she basically is the asp, threatening to sink her fangs into those who mess with her.

In the former, Meg broods over her late parents and faces down depression: "Never thought a b— like me would hit rock bottom." In the latter, she goes on the offensive: "B—es swear they G but the G must stand for Goofy/ When the f— did all the gangster n—as turn to groupies?"

She followed these up with the Gwen Stefani-sampling "Boa," which further turns up the heat: "B—, your time up / Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock."

As Megan explained to L'OFFICIEL of her recent musical approach, "This is music I would like if I wasn't Megan Thee Stallion. I don't want to say I'm tapping into other genres. I'm just tapping into other sounds. But it's still very much Megan Thee Stallion. It won't feel like I went so left. It'll feel true to me. You'll almost be like, 'I wouldn't have thought she would've rapped over that, but this sounds great.'"

If "Cobra," "Hiss" and "Boa" are any indication, this snake is about to rattle us.

Megan Thee Stallion hasn't released the full tracklisting for Megan yet — but she did confirm the whole shebang is out June 28, onstage during her ongoing Hot Girl Summer Tour. So, it's only a matter of weeks until the album slinks into our speakers.

The Cover Is Eye-Popping

On the cover of Megan, the rapper emerges nude from a Monarch butterfly chrysalis, hanging from a potted indoor tree in a fancy room. Framing the image is a transparent, serifed, monumental M.

As killer as her recent offerings have been, clearly Megan is going to bite — in the best way.
