• Lone’s sixth mixtape, the release lands right before the rapper embarks on the

After much deliberation on whether or not he’d even return to the Broken Hearts series, Destroy Lonely has unveiled the highly anticipated third installment in the mixtape sequence. Entitled </3³,  the Opium rapper’s sixth mixtape in his growing discography is a testament to his current, top-level standing in the rap zeitgeist, while also a proper reflection on his past and what it took him to get here.

Spanning 18 tracks in total, Broken Hearts 3 hears Lone look back on his original sound, reconnecting with a lineup of pivotal producers from his early-career days. Clayco, Cxdy, Cade, and Bugz Ronin all contribute to production throughout the project, all key figures in shaping the rapper’s OG sonic composition.

A primarily solo endeavor, the one feature on the tracklist comes from labelmate Ken Carson on the seventeenth track, “open it up.” Each of the songs on the lineup – including singles “not the mayor” and “jumangi” – blends easily into the next, delivering a smooth listening experience.

Landing over five years after its predecessor, Broken Hearts 2, the deluxe edition of September 2020’s Broken Hearts, </3³ also arrives just in time for Lone’s appearance on Playboi Carti‘s Antagonist Tour, kicking off in October.
