Mike Epps Says He Is Making a Hip-Hop Album Called Me

By Miles Carter, November 15, 2026

Mike Epps says he has a hip-hop album in the works, and it is called Me. In an interview with Complex, published Nov 14, 2026, and recorded alongside Ice Cube, the comedian said he is making the project with Tony Draper, the founder of Suave House, and that he will be "rapping and singing" on it.

"I'm trying to get it together now," Epps told Complex, adding that the album may come out in 2027. He kept expectations in check: "I would never take myself as a serious music artist. But will I jump on a track? Will I come up with a good idea? Yeah."

He also wants Ice Cube on it. "I'm trying to get him on it," Epps said. "I would love to have him on the right track."

Epps framed the album through his stand-up roots. "I consider myself a hip-hop comic because, you know, I started on Def Comedy Jam," he said.

Not his first record

Complex noted that Epps released Funny Bidness: Da Album in 2009. No label, tracklist or date has been announced for Me.

Epps and Ice Cube host the podcast Listen & Laugh together. Its first episode featured Dr. Dre, who used it to explain his plans to go off the grid.
