See You Next Wednesday
Belly
Belly’s See You Next Wednesday is the third studio album from the Palestinian‑Canadian rapper, released on August 27, 2021 via XO and Roc Nation. Across fifteen tracks, Belly moves between introspective confessionals and polished, big‑budget anthems, threading themes of self‑reflection, success, and emotional fallout from fame through bass‑heavy, melodic production. The title pays homage to filmmaker John Landis’s long‑running “See You Next Wednesday” in‑joke, signalling Belly’s intent to frame the album as a kind of cinematic statement in his catalog.
Stylistically, the project blends moody trap and boom‑bap influences with radio‑ready hooks, supported by a stacked guest list that includes The Weeknd, Young Thug, Moneybagg Yo, Nas, Nav, Lil Uzi Vert, Big Sean, Benny the Butcher, and PnB Rock. Critics and commentators have noted both the strength of Belly’s sharp, stoic lyricism and the sometimes overcrowded feel created by so many collaborators, arguing that his most compelling moments come when the focus narrows to his own narrative and internal struggles. The result is a polished, feature‑heavy record that aims to balance pure lyricism with crossover ambition, positioning Belly as both an introspective writer and a creator of large‑scale rap anthems.
