Work on the album commenced in mid-2019 and concluded in 2023. The album consists of 16 tracks and features guest appearances from Smokepurpp,YoungBoy Never Broke Again,Ty Dolla Sign,Rio Da Yung Og and G4 Boyz. The album was executive produced by CBMix.

The album serves as the follow-up to Pump's second studio album, Harverd Dropout (2019),as well as No Name (2021),his mixtape with Ronny J.
It was supported by five singles –"All the Sudden","Splurgin","Mosh Pit","She Know",and "Tesla". [3] The deluxe version of the album was released on September 15,2023. Lil Pump 2 received generally positive reviews;however,the album failed to land on any chart and was projected to earn significantly less album-equivalent units in its first week than his previous album,Harverd Dropout.
Lil Pump released his eponymous debut album in October 2017,which marked his official transition from being a SoundCloud rapper to being in the mainstream eye. [4] Its sequel was announced in 2019 [5] but was delayed in favor of a collaborative album with Ronny J titled No Name,which was quietly released on December 10,2021,to no fanfare. [6] It was later announced that the project was slated for release in August 2022, [7] but was delayed because Garcia claimed to have lost the hard drive containing the album in a lake. [8]
Pump first announced the album on May 27,2019. Since announcing Lil Pump 2 in 2019,Lil Pump often teased new projects that have since been scrapped such as "Pump Rock" and "Red Ain't Dead",but in 2022,he confirmed that Lil Pump 2 was his next project. A slew of singles were released during the span of 2020 and 2022 to help tease the album,but none of the singles ended up making it on the album.
In August 2022,during an interview with Inked Magazine ,Lil Pump originally confirmed that it would be dropping that same month,however,that ended up not being the case. [7]
That same month,an early tracklist surfaced online,consisting of twenty-two tracks,with a wide variety of features in which the majority but a few features and songs teased were cut from the final tracklist. On March 10,2023,Lil Pump took to Instagram to reveal the album's cover art and tracklist,with features ranging from YoungBoy Never Broke Again,Rio Da Yung Og,the previously mentioned Smokepurpp,Ty Dolla Sign,and G4 Boyz. [9]
Pump released the album's lead single,"All the Sudden",on April 12,2022. It was followed by the second single,"Splurgin",which was released on July 20,2022. The third single,"Mosh Pit",was released on September 27,2022. "She Know" featuring Ty Dolla Sign was released as the fourth on December 7,2022. "Tesla" with Smokepurpp was released as fifth and final single for the album,being released February 24,2023. Pump also smashed a brand new Ferrari windshield to promote the project. [10]
On March 11,2023,Pump announced the cover art for Lil Pump 2 via social media. The cover portrays more of a rock/punk theme to it. It shows Pump shaking his head,with his hair spelling "LP2". [11]

HipHopDX | 2.4/5 |
Reviewing the album for Clash,Robin Murray stated "‘Lil Pump 2 is all glitz and fireworks,while never truly leading from the front. Tapping back into his core values,it's a fan pleaser,but ultimately finds Lil Pump staying still." Sabrina Morris from HotNewHipHop gave the album a "HOTTTTT" rating,equal to a 4/5. She praised the album for being "similar to his previous work as most of the songs have a catchy hook,a heavy,hard-hitting baseline,and strong 808s". Aylor Rubright from HipHopDX stated:"On Lil Pump 2. His best work tends to be energetic,zany,and a bit funny,but Lil Pump 2 is rarely able to strike a meaningful balance between these three aspects. Whereas his older music was able to capture those characteristics in a way that felt organic,it now feels like he’s simply going through the motions without any sort of chemistry between artists,producers,and engineers naturally taking the reins in a studio session." [14]
"Pump Rock x Heavy Metal",a rap metal and nu metal song,was panned by numerous heavy metal publications and by people online. [15] [16] Metal Hammer 's Liz Scarlett described the song as "so bad in fact,that it makes us want to have a little cry",writing,"Lil Pump has somehow absorbed every single clichéin the alternative scene and bundled them all together in a NSFW song that would make your mother very,very upset." [17] Metal Injection compared the song unfavourably to other hip-hop inspired metal acts (and vice versa),including Ho99o9,Ghostmane,Tallah,Tetrarch,and Wargasm. [18] MetalSucks called it the "worst metal song of the year",comparing the song unfavourably to T-Pain's cover of "War Pigs" by Black Sabbath. [19]
The album was projected to earn significantly less units in its first week than his previous album,failing to chart on any chart.
