Only 10,000 units will be available globally this fall
Empire has announced the forthcoming release of a special limited anniversary vinyl edition of 17, the landmark debut album by the late, genre-defying artist XXXTentacion. Slated for release in October 2025, this limited-edition pressing arrives as a true collector’s item, featuring a visually striking zoetrope animated disc that brings the rapper’s emotional legacy to life in an entirely new format. Only 10,000 units will be available worldwide, making this a rare and highly coveted release for fans and collectors alike.
This announcement marks a reflective moment for fans and supporters alike, as 17, first released in August 2017, remains a raw, emotionally charged project that redefined vulnerability in hip-hop and launched XXXTentacion into global stardom. The vinyl retains the original cover art and tracklist, preserving the integrity of X’s vision while reintroducing the album in a new, elevated form.
This special release follows the recent relaunch of XXXTentacion’s iconic fashion label, Bad Vibes Forever, which debuted July 17th. Originally imagined by the Billboard Music Award and American Music Award-nominated artist, the brand embodies his commitment to emotional honesty, individuality, and artistic authenticity. The relaunch introduces upgraded essentials and never-before-released pieces based on XXXTentacion’s original sketches and design concepts, bridging his original vision with new energy for longtime fans and a new generation alike.
In honor of XXXTentacion’s philanthropic legacy, a portion of proceeds from the Bad Vibes Forever collection benefit the Lumule Foundation, an organization supporting children and families in Northern Uganda affected by the aftermath of civil war. This partnership, made possible through the XXXTentacion Foundation, underscores a shared mission of healing and empowerment. Contributions help provide vital resources – food, education, healthcare, and vocational training – to communities in need.
