His deep, gritty tone quickly drew attention, to the point of being regularly cited in discussions around post-2020 New York drill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">In <strong>2021<\/strong>, he reached a new milestone with his debut album <strong><em>Untamed<\/em><\/strong>, followed in <strong>2022<\/strong> by <strong><em>Nightmare On Da Fifth<\/em><\/strong>, a darker project rooted in his street universe and supported by several Brooklyn-based collaborations. That same year, he multiplied short formats with the EPs <strong><em>Rollin N Controllin<\/em><\/strong> and <strong><em>Catch Da Flu<\/em><\/strong>, then collaborative projects <strong><em>Say Dat<\/em><\/strong> and <strong><em>-95 Degrees<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">His most recent full-length project to date remains the mixtape <strong><em>From Da Flu With Luv<\/em><\/strong> (2023), released shortly before a period of incarceration that put his career on hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">Since 2024, <strong>Dusty Locane<\/strong> has avoided premature announcements. Instead, he has established a steady presence with standalone tracks, each accompanied by a visual or an official audio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Will he release an album in 2026?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.reseauunderground.com\/en\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"www.reseauunderground.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click here to <strong>submit your project<\/strong> via the <strong>Official portal of Hip-Hop Magazine<\/strong>, accessible on the <strong>Underground Network<\/strong>.<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A \u201ccomeback\u201d after a period of incarceration that put his career on hold.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":12899,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[679,2827,670,678,606,1128,330,162],"class_list":["post-12894","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-usa","tag-actualites","tag-dusty-locane","tag-hip-hop","tag-journal","tag-magazine-hip-hop","tag-media","tag-rap","tag-videos"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.magazinehiphop.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12894","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.magazinehiphop.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.magazinehiphop.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.magazinehiphop.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/27"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.magazinehiphop.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12894"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.magazinehiphop.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12894\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12902,"href":"https:\/\/www.magazinehiphop.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12894\/revisions\/12902"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.magazinehiphop.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12899"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.magazinehiphop.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12894"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.magazinehiphop.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12894"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.magazinehiphop.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12894"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
