Stove God Cooks & Swizz Beatz Talk Making ‘All This For Me?’: ‘Album of the Decade’

Stove God Cooks is preparing to release his long-awaited second album, *All This For Me?*, made with producer Swizz Beatz. The project follows years of anticipation after his 2020 debut *Reasonable Drought*, and a series of delays shaped by label issues and the practical work of clearing samples.

Cooks said he had not understood how sample clearance and related legal issues could hold up a release, having seen collaborators such as Westside Gunn put out albums quickly. Swizz said Jay-Z encouraged him to work with Cooks, though Cooks clarified that Jay-Z was not involved in the Warner Records partnership. The album rollout includes “Welcome to My Garden” and the recent single “Stovie’s Home (Down Down)”; the article does not give a confirmed release date.
