Featuring 14 songs, the album will include appearances from the likes of Kirk Franklin, Lil Yachty, 42 Dugg, Vince Staples, ScHoolboy Q, Quavo, Rob49, Travis Scott, Ty Dolla $ign, Charlie Wilson, Masego, Blxst, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Roddy Ricch, Future, Ella Mai, Kodak Black, Young Thug, Lil Durk and BlueBucksClan.
The project will also feature the producer’s rapping debut on a track titled “Pray For Me,” which he released earlier this month.
Check out the full tracklist below.
Due out on July 26, Faith Of A Mustard Seed was announced soon after Mustard achieved the first No. 1 song of his career, thanks to Kendrick Lamar’s Drake diss track “Not Like Us.”
To that point, ScHoolboy Q has expressed excited over L.A.’s return to the music scene at the hands of the 34-year-old producer.
Taking to X last month, the Southern California MC revealed that he’d already heard Faith of a Mustard Seed, and he couldn’t wait for everyone else to check it out.
“Heard it [teary face emoji],” he wrote. “sHit go dumb. LA bout to do it again… LA up tHis year.”
Continuing with the LA energy, the album got its title from the late Nipsey Hussle.
When working on the title track for the producer’s last album, 2019’s Perfect Ten, Nipsey suggested that Mustard name the effort Faith Of A Mustard Seed. The producer, however, had already locked in the aforementioned title at the time.
“And [Nipsey] was like, ‘Well before it’s all said and done, you gotta do Faith Of A Mustard Seed,’” he recalled in a June interview with Big Boy’s Neighborhood.
When the West Coast beatmaker began working on the new project, he actually had a different title in mind (that he may still use), but when he knew that Nip’s suggested title made sense after he sampled a Luther Vandross cut because his mother is a huge fan of the singer.

NBA YoungBoy was in Atlanta a few nights ago for the MASA Tour, and as expected, he delivered an intense show. His concerts have been packed from city to city, with the kind of high energy only his fans can bring. But just like the rest of this tour, the stop in Atlanta didn’t go by without its share of drama. Not long ago, his Chicago date was also called off.
After receiving the key to the city of Atlanta on Wednesday night under questionable circumstances, YoungBoy quickly saw the mood shift. State Farm Arena confirmed that his show scheduled for Saturday was officially canceled.
The venue didn’t provide a specific explanation, but it’s not hard to see why they might have made this decision. During his Wednesday set, YoungBoy performed “I Hate YoungBoy,” a track that directly calls out major Atlanta names like Lil Baby, Gucci Mane, and 21 Savage. The song also takes aim at Chicago artists
For YoungBoy’s fans, the cancellation is a big letdown. Those who attended the first night probably feel lucky, but the Saturday crowd won’t get the same chance. Ticketmaster has confirmed refunds for anyone who bought their passes through their platform, softening the blow a little.
This setback adds to the list of issues the rapper has faced during this run. Still, he has plenty of remaining stops, with the MASA Tour continuing through the end of November. His fanbase is loyal and strong, and a canceled show won’t stop crowds from filling other venues.
This moment in YoungBoy’s career is still a powerful one, and the support he’s received has been huge. Hopefully, the rest of the tour will go smoothly from here. For now, everyone’s waiting to see if State Farm Arena will give an official explanation for the sudden cancellation.
