Pegasus is the third studio album by American rapper and singer Trippie Redd. It was released on October 30, 2020. The album features guest appearances from Myiah Lynnae, Yung LB, PartyNextDoor, Chris Brown, Rich the Kid, Young Thug, Future, Quavo, Lil Mosey, Busta Rhymes, Sean Kingston, Doe Boy, Lil Wayne, HoodyBaby, and Swae Lee.

Background

The album was announced by Redd in March 2020 via his Instagram story with the caption reading "PEGASUS, the album. One day". Redd said that the album would take a "dreamy, nostalgic and outer space" approach this time around.[3] Later in June 2020, Redd had announced a deluxe version for the album, and that it would be his rock project that he teased in March 2019, and gave more information about the upcoming album on an Instagram live stream. He stated that the songs on the album would be put in a specific order as his previous project A Love Letter to You 4, with love songs being first, deep in the middle, and hard songs last.[4][5] He said Pegasus would "be way better" than A Love Letter to You 4, and that "it takes you from place to place as far as genre goes. The whole goal with that was... I was thinking next level".[1]

On August 18, 2020, the full album leaked after Redd had stated that he would delay the album further if more of his music continued to leak online.[6] According to an interview with Redd's labelmate, rapper 6ix9ine, Pegasus was pushed back for months by Redd's label who felt that a new project from Redd would not gain enough traction to be financially viable.[7]

Singles

The lead single, "Excitement", with Canadian singer and rapper PartyNextDoor, was released on May 15, 2020.[8]

On September 11, 2020, the album's second single, "I Got You", featuring American rapper Busta Rhymes, was released aside with the official music video.[9]

On October 7, 2020, "Sleepy Hollow" was released as the album's third single, while the album's tracklist and release date was also revealed.[10][11]

Commercial performance

Pegasus debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 chart, earning 60,000 album-equivalent units, (including 4,000 copies as pure album sales) in its first week.[12] This became Trippie Redd's fifth US top-five debut on the chart, following the release of his chart-topping project, A Love Letter to You 4.[12] The album also accumulated a total of 79.2 million on-demand streams from the album's songs that week.[12]

Cover artwork

The cover art was revealed on October 1, 2020, on Trippie Redd's Instagram, and shows him wearing nude-colored underwear, with his arms flailed out in front of a Pegasus horse from Greek mythology. The artwork received mixed reception from fans, with Redd later deleting the picture.[1][10]
