?

? is the second studio album by American rapper and singer XXXTentacion, released on March 16, 2018 through Bad Vibes Forever, Caroline, and Capitol. It was his last album released during his lifetime, arriving three months before his death, and runs about 37 minutes with tracks like “SAD!,” “Moonlight,” “changes,” “hope,” “NUMB,” “Floor 555,” “infinity (888)” (with Joey Bada$$), and “Pain = BESTFRIEND” (with Travis Barker). The project debuted at number 1 on the Billboard 200—his first US chart‑topping album—and later received multi‑platinum certifications, with “SAD!” becoming a posthumous Billboard Hot 100 number‑one single and helping make ? one of the most‑streamed hip‑hop albums on Spotify.

Artistically, ? pushes far beyond a single genre, weaving together acoustic and emo ballads, alternative rock, trap, cloud rap, and even reggaeton‑pop on “I don’t even speak spanish lol,” while “infinity (888)” leans into classic boom‑bap hip‑hop. The album alternates between spare, piano‑ or guitar‑based songs where his vocals are more projected and melodic (“changes,” “NUMB,” “before I close my eyes”) and harsher, distorted tracks that recall his early underground aggression (“Floor 555,” “SMASH!”), creating a deliberately fragmented emotional landscape. Lyrically, he circles themes of depression, heartbreak, self‑loathing, anger, and fragile hope, with songs like “hope” dedicated to victims of the Parkland shooting and “SAD!” framing toxic relationship dynamics in deceptively catchy, pop‑leaning form. Critics noted both the album’s unevenness and its surprising range, often framing it as a snapshot of a 20‑year‑old artist rapidly expanding his songwriting and sonic palette while still wrestling openly with his own turmoil.
