Eversince

Eversince is Bladee's first solo studio album, released on May 25, 2016. The album is produced by Whitearmor, with additional production from Ripsquadd and Hitkidd. The album features two guests appearances from Ecco2k. Compared to Bladee's earlier recordings, Eversince features darker, more grim production and writing, which became staple for many of Bladee's later projects.

The album features 12 tracks with a total runtime of 39:32.

Background

The first mention of "Ever Since" was made by Bladee via a 2014 Instagram post. This continued on multiple social media platforms throughout 2014 and 2015, notably on Vine, on which 3V3R51NC3 was Bladee's username. It is commonly speculated that Eversince is what became of Bladee's highly anticipated unreleased mixtape Rainworld, as he was revealing lyrics from Eversince via Twitter, while the last runs of Rainworld Hoodies were being sold.

Release and promotion

On November 17, 2015, "Missing Person" released on Soundcloud, but it was not promoted as a single for the project. Eversince was finally announced as an album in the description of the music video for "Like a Virgin" on January 20, 2016. "Who Goes There" released alongside a music video on May 17, also announcing the Eversince release date to be May 25, 2016. That same day, Bladee revealed the album's cover art and tracklist via Drain Gang's Tumblr.

On July 25, 2016 Bladee released a line of Eversince Merchandise.
