Koe Wetzel Shares Updated ‘9 Lives’ Tracklist, & Fans Are Wondering What Happened To “Casamigos”

Changing things up, potentially. Today, Koe Wetzel shared an updated version of the 9 Lives tracklist on Instagram, which has seemingly changed a little bit from the initial album announcement . It still features 13 songs, though one titled "Casamigos" has seemingly been swapped for a cover of the late rapper XXXTENTACION’s “Depression & Obsession.” A couple weeks ago, Koe had said that song would be included on an (unofficially announced) deluxe version of 9 Lives , though that's looking like it's no longer the case. The caption of the post seems to confirm that this is the official tracklist for 9 Lives , not a future deluxe version, saying that the release date is still July 19th, which is also what the initial announcement said: "'9 LIVES'… 7/19/24." https://www.instagram.com/p/C8pF-iVxtKE/ Fans commented on the Instagram post, wondering where "Casamigos" went and why it wasn't on the tracklist anymore: "Wait….. so casamigos name got changed?? Or is this a different song??" "Casamigos?" "No Casamigos?" "CASAMIGOS???" "So you replaced Casamigos with an X cover c'mon dawg it was one of the best snippets on the album." "Better not have changed it Casamigos is a banger." "CASAMIGOS NOOOOO" "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH CASAMIGOS" "WHERE IS CASAMIGOS????" From what I can gather, it looks like Koe has switched out the two songs, which isn't unheard of for an artist to do in terms of making changes to the tracklist after it's already been put out, but is kind of surprising this close to the release date of the album if that's the case. On TikTok, Koe posted a different video this morning explaining why he included the cover: "Always loved that era of music. The Lil Peep era, the XXX, he's one of my favorite artists out of that group. And it sucks that, you know, I feel like there's a lot of music that we didn't get from him. So it's kind of just a nod to him. To get with his people, and them give us the tools to go in and actually do it and I hope we did it justice... It's really cool to be able to out one of his songs on the record." It's pretty rare for Koe to cut a cover in the studio (he did cover William Clark Green's "Outcast" on 2020's Sellout ), and this is from a totally different genre than anything he's dabbled in before so I'm certainly intrigued: There is a new teaser of "Depression & TikTok now as well, and he previously shared snippets of all the songs (including "Casamigos") on social media so you can hear part of that one too. I loved the sound of "Casamigos," and it seemed to be one fans were really excited to hear in full, so hopefully it will be included on the deluxe edition or some other album because I think we need to hear it. And in all likelihood, it will show up somewhere, so don't worry quite yet fans. It just might not be as soon as we'd like...
