L.O.D. (an acronym for Life of Desiigner) is the first extended play (EP) by American rapper Desiigner. It was released on May 4, 2018 through GOOD Music and Def Jam.[1] The EP features production from Mike Dean, Ronny J, and Sean Garrett, among others.[2] It serves as Desiigner's first full-length project since the release of his debut mixtape New English (2016). It is also the last project by Desiigner to be released through GOOD Music before he left the label in 2019.[3][4]

Background[]

Desiigner first announced the project as one of two albums he had produced on his Twitter in November 2017.[5] There was no further discussion on the two albums until May 3, 2018, when he announced that the album, titled L.O.D. would be released as an EP (extended play) at midnight. Desiigner's representative confirmed to Pitchfork that L.O.D. is an EP despite it being called an album on the artwork.[6]
