AS IS THE CASE W/ MOST VIRAL ARTISTS,the world didn’t expect much out ofPost Maloneafter the tremendous success of “White Iverson.” The world was wrong.

This is the limited-edition orange vinyl pressing of the album, and other tracks to check out include: “Congratulations,” “Deja Vu,” “Feel,” and “No Option.”
