When an artist passes away, the music they leave behind becomes so much more than just a body of work. In rap, especially, a posthumous album can be a powerful continuation or perhaps even a painful reminder of what might’ve been. While some are handled with care — assembled by people who genuinely understand what the artist stood for — others, unfortunately, are made to prioritize profit over legacy, with bloated tracklists and features that would’ve never happened if the artist were still alive.
