Data Insight
LAROI writes on all nineteen tracks and none of them alone, which is the shape of the whole record: a large producer-writer cast rotating around one voice. Billy Walsh and Omer Fedi are the constants. The guest list reaches unusually wide for a debut, taking in Jung Kook, Central Cee, Future, YoungBoy Never Broke Again and the jazz pianist Robert Glasper on a single album.
The First Time is The Kid LAROI's debut studio album, released on 10 November 2023 through Columbia Records. Nineteen tracks run 51 minutes across hip hop, pop rap and emo rap. It reached number 3 in Australia, number 16 in Canada and number 19 in Denmark, and carried the singles 'Love Again', 'Too Much' and 'What Just Happened'.
