Chinx’s Posthumous Debut Album Is Dropping in August

Chinx's posthumous album Welcome to J.F.K is set to release on Aug. 14. The Queens-born rapper, who passed tragically in mid-May, told XXL in 2014 the meaning behind the title. "My album will be titled Welcome to J.F.K.," he said. "Cause my part of Queens is right by the airport so whenever you coming to New York, you gotta come through where I'm from." Welcome to J.F.K. will be available for preorder on July 17.

Earlier today, EOne released the lead single from Welcome To JFK called "On Your Body." With singer Meet Sims on the hook and a bouncy beat co-produced by Lee On the Beats and Bkorn of the Amazinz, "On Your Body" has a much different tone than the gritty feel we were used to hearing from Chinx. Outside of the August 14 release date and the "On Your Body" single, there isn't any other information out on Welcome To J.F.K. but with his passing and support of the hip-hop community, the album has a chance to be big. Check out "On Your Body" above and support the single via iTunes.

For those interested in donating money to Chinx's family to help provide financial support, a GoFundMe page is available here. Chinx was laid to rest in Queens last week and in lieu of flowers, the family asked for donations with the following statement:

As you can imagine, in today’s challenging economic climate, losing your primary source of income can be devastating. When that loss is due to the unexpected death, it leaves a void that can never truly be filled.

Instead of sending flowers, please consider helping the family fill part of the financial void. Your donations will help provide much needed financial stability to a family who deserves so much more than what they have been dealt. We cannot replace the warmth, charisma, wit, charm, and love that Chinx gave to not only his family, and friends, but also, his fans. We can however, help keep them focused on what really matters, and that is each other.

On behalf of the Pickens family, Mungin family and Four Kings Management, we thank you all for your love and support.
