Aaron CarterтАЩs final album will be released on Nov. 6.
The late rapper, who unexpectedly passed away on Saturday, recently completed what is now his final album,┬аBlacklisted.┬аThough the project was originally slated to be released on Dec. 7,┬аwhich would have been CarterтАЩs┬а35th birthday, the albumтАЩs producers,┬аMorgan Matthews and John Wyatt Johnson, have decided to release the independent album sooner, to honour┬аthe late musician.
Blacklisted,┬аwhich marks CarterтАЩs first album in six years, was recorded over a 12-month period, beginning last November, the same month Carter welcomed his son Prince with ex, Melanie Martin.
