XXXTentacion, who was born Jahseh Onfroy, dropped his debut album 17 back in August. It’s lone listed feature comes from Trippie Redd. The album, which was released through Bad Vibes Forever/EMPIRE, debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, moving 87,000 equivalent album units.

The 19 year-old artist was able to make the deal despite having significant legal troubles. On Oct. 8, 2016, XXX was arrested after allegations of domestic violence were made by his then-girlfriend. He was subsequently charged with aggravated battery of a pregnant woman, domestic battery by strangulation, false imprisonment, and witness tampering. XXX is set to go to trial on Dec. 11.

Pitchfork published disturbing excerpts from the alleged victim’s 142-page testimony. XXX has denied the charges.
