Early gross sales projections are wanting mighty promising as per Our Generation Music, his fifth effort has the potential to be the largest Hot 200 debut of the 12 months up to now.

Projections proper now have the Houston multi-talent at wherever from 130-160K models first week. Even if he hits the low finish of this vary, Don T will usurp A$AP Rocky’s Don’t Be Dumb, which moved 123,000 copies after it was all set and carried out.
