French Montana has finally dropped the fifth installment of his long-running mixtape series Mac & Cheese 5, nearly 15 years after birthing the original edition.
The “Unforgettable” hitmaker was initially set to drop last month (January 5), but French announced a delay in December while revealing a Lil Baby feature. He teased several other heavyweight guest appearances before dropping at midnight on Friday (February 23).
Mac & Cheese 5 includes a slew of artists, including two appearances from both Lil Wayne and Kanye West. The 21-track tape clocks in at exactly 60 minutes and also features Lil Durk, Meek Mil, JID, Westside Gunn, SAINt JHN, Buju Banton, Bryson Tiller and many more.
However, French Montana raised eyebrows by releasing six versions of Mac & Cheese. Alongside the original, fans can also listen to the acapella, sped-up, slowed-down, instrumental and the “Versions” variants, the latter of which is a compilation of the other five tapes and features 126 songs.
French Montana was trending on X (formerly Twitter) as fans shared their thoughts about dropping six versions of the same album.
“French Montana needs to be stopped,” one fan wrote. They also shared a screen recording showing dozens of tracks on the “Versions” Mac & Cheese tape.
Another fan shared a similar video, adding, “French Montana on everything I love u will be dealt with bro.”
“French Montana has released around 20,000 new versions of the songs from his new album Mac & Cheese 5,” one fan joked. “Kanye has so many French Montana songs on his page.”
