Tommy Richman’s Debut Album ‘Coyote’ Has a Release Date: ‘Welcome to the Desert’

Tommy Richman’s debut album is almost here. The “Million Dollar Baby” rapper-singer announced on Monday (Aug. 26) that Coyote will hit streaming services on Sept. 27.

Richman posted a trailer for Coyote on Monday (Aug. 26), in which he revealed the anticipated LP’s release date. “Welcome to the desert. Coyote, my debut album. 9/27,” he captioned the clip.

The trailer features an actual coyote walking on a Wile E. Coyote-themed desert set, and the camera pans to Richman, who is seated in front of a mirror wiping the clown makeup off his face, which plays off his 2022 Alligator project’s cover art.

Fans and Richman’s peers hopped into his comment section after learning about the announcement. “The World Ready Bro, Get’m,” DJ Paul wrote.

A fan added: “This gunna be so special!”

Richman exploded onto the mainstream scene with his “Million Dollar Baby,” which became inescapable upon its arrival in April. The track is the longest running No. 1 on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 chart to date.

“Baby” also topped the Pop Airplay chart dated Aug. 31, and spent time at the apex of the Hot R&B Songs chart — for 16 weeks through the Aug. 24 tally, Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs (three, May-June), Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart (three, May-June); the Billboard Global 200 (two, June); and Streaming Songs (one week, May).

“This is a big record, but this doesn’t define me,” the Virginia native told Billboard in June. “I’m using this as, ‘We’re here. We arrived.’ Not as, ‘We made it!’ This is the start of a run.”

“Million Dollar Baby” peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has tallied 773 million spins in radio audience, 559 million official on-demand U.S. streams and 77,000 units sold from its release through Aug. 15, per Luminate.

He followed up “Baby” with “Devil Is a Lie” in June, which peaked at No. 32 on the Billboard Hot 100. Coyote is set to arrive on Sept. 27 via ISO Supremacy and PULSE Records.
